Damn, Microsoft is playing all sides of this, huh.
Within a ten minute window:
- Satya announced GPT-4 runs (at least partly) on a new AMD offering
- Satya announced an in-house chip for ML acceleration
- Satya brings NVidia CEO Jensen Huang on stage
they've got every horse in the race, huh
(disclaimer, I work for MS but all the stuff talked about here far is waaaay above my paygrade haha, and all brand new info to me)
- onlyrealcuzzo 3y agoMicrosoft really likes being valued as a growth stock... Obviously they're going to play every angle.
- kyboren 3y ago> - Satya brings NVidia CEO Jensen Huang on stage This should be ringing alarm bells at FTC and DoJ. You know what's even better than trust busting and breaking up cartels? Preventing the formation of cartels and trusts in the first place.
- scarface_74 3y agoRaising alarm bells because Microsoft is actually dealing with multiple companies? Would it be better for competition if Microsoft only used one supplier?
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoI would certainly want to spread my risk around to several other large companies.
- kccqzy 3y agoEvery reasonable company in that situation needs to play all sides of this. Even the comically bad management at Google understands this: Google has their own LLMs, their own hardware for ML, and they also buy a ton of nvidia chips for cloud customers. It's a no brainer.
- pjmlp 3y agoAnd this is why even if Windows is gone tomorrow, it will be a phyrric victory for the usual anti-Microsoft crowd, Microsoft will continue to matter in domains nowadays much more relevant to society.
