The first time I met Tavus, their engineers (incl Brian!) were perfectly willing to sit down and build their own better Infiniband to get more juice out of H100s. There is pretty much nobody working on latency and realtime at the level they are, Sparrow-1 would be an defining achievement for most startups but will just be one of dozens for Tavus :)

		Maybe infiniband is a bit more than we can handle. That technology is incredible! You are right though, we have been willing to build things we needed that didn’t exist yet, or were not fast enough or natural enough. Sparrow-1, Raven-1, and Phoenix-4 are all examples that, and we have more on the way.
