In some frames of the Deepmind documentary film on AlphaGo, we can see code for loading SSTs (a common key-value data format at Google) from GFS (the Google file system).
It is possible that the entire codebase depends on Google-only infrastructure.
- mgraczyk 4y agoThat part is true, but things like that are usually not too bad by themselves. For example, you can use open source tensorflow to access files on Google's internal filesystem with tf.io.gfile. It's possible other infra is somewhat hairy to decouple, for example the code they use to allocate and use GPU resources is internal. (I work on ML at Google and we use some of Deepmind's stuff)
