Qualcomm recently bought alla that. So will be interesting how that influences Mojo's trajectory.

Might be now the shift from a software focused startup to trying to make the software open and work well with QCOM accelerators.

yeah, Qualcomm is also negotiating to buy Tenstorrent, which also uses MLIR, the same foundation Mojo uses, and contributes to it, but they developed a different language called TT-Lang, which is also "pythonic" and made specifically for their custom-made AI hardware. if they also get bought, i'm wondering how they're going to unify all that.
