Ask HN: Why aren't universities leading the research on LLMs?
Universities seem more focused on refining techniques invented in industry.
- ftxbro 4y agoIt's about the funding and size of GPU clusters. Imagine trying to make practical programming advances with pen and paper compared to someone who has access to a PC. Sure you can do some theoretical computer science with pen and paper, but it's not the same as practical programming. The difference is analogous to having only a PC vs. having access to a 10K cluster of cutting edge GPGPUs.
