General Compute employee Jason Goodison spoke on How We Know If a Model Is Any Good at the Smart AI 100 last week.

General Compute is building the world's fastest AI cloud. AI agents, coding tools, and voice assistants all share one constraint: token generation speed. The infrastructure serving them today was built for training, not inference. We're fixing that. General Compute is the first ASIC-first AI neocloud, purpose-built for high-speed inference. Our platform delivers 5-7x faster token generation than GPU-based clouds, serving the latency-sensitive workloads that are growing fastest: coding agents, voice AI, and autonomous systems.
