In this episode of TechThreads: Weaving the Intelligent Future, legendary chip architect Jim Keller joins Nandan Nayampally, Baya Systems’ Chief Commercial Officer, to explore how openness, modularity, and simplicity are redefining the architecture of intelligence.From his early work on Apple’s A4 through A7 processors to today’s AI-driven computing revolution, Jim shares how every leap in performance has come from breaking complexity down into composable, modular layers. Referencing The Systems Bible, he explains why “you can’t fix broken complicated systems”, and why the only path forward is to design simpler components that can scale and evolve together.The conversation spans:- The AI paradigm shift. Why traditional compute models no longer scale.- How data movement, not just compute, has become the new frontier.- The rise of chiplets and software-driven fabrics for scalable design.- The power of open ecosystems like RISC-V and OCA to democratize AI innovation.- Building a path toward sovereign and collaborative compute platforms worldwide.Listen as Jim Keller unpacks the engineering philosophy behind building open, intelligent systems and what it means for the future of AI and computing at scale.
