    Why ML Needs a New Programming Language with Chris Lattner

    Chris Lattner, Ron Minsky

    Former LLVM creator Chris Lattner founded Modular to solve the AI industry's fragmentation by introducing Mojo, a Python-compatible language designed to unify performance and portability across competing hardware vendors. The company generates revenue through enterprise infrastructure solutions rather than licensing the language itself, aiming to replace complex C++ and CUDA workflows with a single release train supporting both NVIDIA and AMD accelerators. This approach seeks to democratize high-performance computing by providing a neutral software foundation that allows developers to build portable AI models without sacrificing hardware efficiency.
