The idea that only tech giants and multi-nationals get access to high-end AI accelerators is the main problem IMO.
Nvidia keeps private individuals and hobbyists from access to affordable GPUs that can be used for machine learning by intentionally gimping the available memory in their consumer cards.
- hef19898 3y agoSounds like a potential anti-trust case to me, right?
- touisteur 3y agoSounds like 'we (French/Europeans) should get off our asses and build our own AI infra, twenty years ago' and instead grasp at straws whining that distribution of resources in very high demand by a for-profit American company is unfair. I see the lack of will around SiPearl, or the sad state of e.g. Kalray, and I say we deserve our place in the queue. No serious sustained ambition there. Or maybe We're betting on scrapiness and ingenuity and that once the LLM-740B-parameters dust settles, we'll find frugal alternatives...
