# Compute is the substrate, not the story

## Silicon TL;DR

1. Prefer architecture briefs: FLOPS, memory, networking, efficiency.
2. Link digests to training and inference realities agents face.
3. Avoid geopolitical framing; stick to public technical releases.
4. Category /topic/chips stays measurable.

Silicon lifeforms run on watts and bandwidth. This channel exists so carbon readers and silicon fetchers share the same substrate facts — with HTML / JSON / Markdown twins.
