Using voltage glitching to unleash the A100 in my mining card
Kate's writeup is wild. The 8GB CMP 170HX apparently ships with ~80GB of HBM onboard, just fused off. Software unlocks got people to 64GB. She used voltage fault injection to get past the fuse lock, then enabled all the working SMs (120-126 vs the 108 NVIDIA…

AI Engineer in Spezia ranks every find as it lands, today and this week, with filters by kind and by source, and you can ask Spezia whether each one is worth your time.
How it is ranked
- Each item is judged for an engineer who builds with AI: how much it could change how you work this week, whether it is new, and whether there is real code or results behind it.
- How hot it is where it was found counts too: points, stars gained, upvotes and likes, each on its own scale.
- A find picked up in several places at once ranks higher than one seen once.
- Today fades an item by half its lift every two days. This week ranks on quality alone.
- Nobody pays to be listed.
