Ask HN: What do you think of xsight labs?

m1011 pts0 comments

Anyone heard or xsight labs (https://xsightlabs.com/)? They are making networking gear for AI and spacex satellites. I d be curious if anyone can shine a light on:- Does full switch programmability actually matter in production, or is it one of those things that sounds great in a slide deck but nobody uses?- Is on-path cores in a DPU genuinely better than Pensando s P4 approach or NVIDIA s off-path model, or does it converge at scale?- Can you actually swap merchant silicon under SONiC in practice, or is Broadcom lock-in deeper than the software layer?- Is there a real market for a power-optimised 12.8T switch when the spine is moving to 51.2T+, or does the spine vendor always drag the leaf along?- How big a deal is open-sourcing the ISA? Do people buying this really care to pay up for this type of thing?Thanks!!
