Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Silo AI's blog for its announcement of the AMD acquisition and its Viking 7B open LLM for Nordic languages. Comments mostly discuss the company and its links rather than the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Looking at their “about” page, https://www.silo.ai/about It looks like 300 “AI experts” employed. So I guess they have paid $2M a pop. I’m not sure how to put that into perspective really, though…

HN discussionSince FT is paywalled and the press release link from Silo is currently pointig to nowhere: https://www.silo.ai/blog/amd-to-acquire-silo-ai-to-expand-en... I've no idea what is going on. This is 5 times bigger than their combined AI acquisitions in the last 12 months. The only link between Silo and AMD is that Silo has been using an AMD accelerator cluster for training.
