Not disagreeing but just curious, why can't money buy enough GPU's? OpenAI's prices seem low enough that they could reasonably charge 2x or more to companies eager to get on the best models now.
- jerrygenser 3y agoI think GPUs are in short supply and Nvidia can't make enough to keep up with demand.
- jiggawatts 3y agoThey're giving people access to GPT-4 via Bing for free, but apparently can't accommodate paying API users!? That makes no sense. What makes much more sense -- especially if you listen to his interviews -- is that Sam Altman doesn't think you can be trusted with the power of GPT-4 via an API unless it has first been aligned to death.

- cptaj 3y agoMicrosoft is giving that for free but I assume they're paying OpenAI for it. And having such a big anchor tenant, its reasonable that you would prioritize them if GPUs are in short supply.
- selcuka 3y ago> Microsoft is giving that for free but I assume they're paying OpenAI for it. Yeah, but Microsoft already gets 75% of the profits OpenAI makes, it's not the same price for them as the rest of us.
- ec109685 3y agoIt’s the exactly the same. If they could make 75 cents selling the compute to someone else for $1 versus not making it providing the Bing chat service, that is 75 cents they lose.
- selcuka 3y agoWhy do you assume that the same amount of computing power would be used by someone else? There are only so many customers. You can't magically start selling more compute if you stop using it yourself.
- ec109685 3y agoAt scale, GPU's are capacity constrained right now, so if Microsoft stopped using them, their capacity would be absorbed by others.

- flangola7 3y agoBing GPT-4 is a much smaller and less capable model than regular GPT-4.
- ben_w 3y agoTo a first approximation, the increased share price of NVIDIA is because AI developers including OpenAI bought as many as NVIDIA can make.
