Is that really what you think? Google Cloud is far and away the best service for machine learning right now. There's a reason why basically every company that has ML training needs is switching from AWS to GCP. Not only is Tensorflow, which is the only production machine learning framework that anyone uses, basically 100% integrated with GCP, the Google Compute Engine is the only way you can get access to TPUs.
At my company, we use GCP almost exclusively with preembtible TPUs as our primary compute for training models. It's not cheap, but you can't beat the performance and quality. Plus when you compare it with how much the engineers here are getting paid, it's a drop in the bucket ultimately.
- mooreds 8y agoHow much of the average compute work load for companies and startups is machine learning?
- lawrenceyan 8y agoNot sure about others, but in my field, it's probably >99%.
- mooreds 8y agoSounds like GCP is a great fit for you, then! I have worked in a number of industries and rarely needed any ML (though it may be coming). Most folks need clean data and linear regressions in my experience.
