Microsoft inks deal with CoreWeave to meet OpenAI cloud demand
- witchesindublin 3y agoWould you say that Nvidia's role in AI is based off software or hardware?
- haldujai 3y agoToday? Both.
- fragmede 3y agoJust like a car needs both an engine and tires, software and hardware are equally critical to success. Something that AMD just does not get.
- mlazos 3y agoSoftware, there are 100s of ai hardware startups. It’s easier relatively to build a domain specific chip, but building a compiler stack that integrates with a major framework and gets good perf from your chip is incredibly difficult. Getting people to switch from nvidia? Even harder
- Dalewyn 3y agoYes.
- dpflan 3y agoIs there any reality to crypto-mining gpu operations converting to AI model services (assuming they have the correct hardware)? Where can more GPUs be found and aggregated?
- herr_antwort 3y agoCoreweave intially loaded up on GPUs to mine Ethereum, made money off that during the boom, then pivoted to being a GPU cloud, and found themselves with all these GPUs in the ML/AI bubble. Amazing run.
- bushbaba 3y agoMining used consumer GPUs which are not allowed to be used for datacenters. So I doubt they managed to reuse the hardware
- sorcer 3y agoNo mining GPUs are in their fleet anymore, that's long gone. It's all datacenter GPUs as per their website.
- antman 3y agoNot allowed can only effectively mean they cannot ask for support. At this point everything is out of warranty.
- bushbaba 3y agoNo not allowed in the sense of you’ll be sued. There’s a prior exception for using consumer GPUs to crypto mine in a data center. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-bans-consumer-gpus-in-data-centers/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-bans-consumer...
- paxys 3y agoRemember when Nvidia used to be a gaming company? Now I wouldn't be surprised if they quit that market entirely.
