No, it's obvious to everyone working with GPUs who knows what "serverless" means.
It's a very standard construction in English. "Serverless GPU" means "GPU" that is "serverless". If you know what both words mean in the jargon, you know what they mean together. It's ok to not know what they mean, but arguing that it's "tortured" rings to me as misguided obtuseness.

- mgraczyk 3y agoWhen I said "standard construction", I was referring to the combination of "serverless" and "GPU" to make "serverless GPU". Also you're factually wrong. Amazon didn't invent this term and it was widely used before 2014. Here's a 2012 article using the term. https://readwrite.com/why-the-future-of-software-and-apps-is-serverless/ https://readwrite.com/why-the-future-of-software-and-apps-is... I truly don't understand the bizarre and conspiracy-theory laden opposition to terms like this. It's a word, everyone who matters knows that it means.
