If its truly a hardware venture... good luck. They'll need it. Big-die silicon is hard, like unimaginably hard, even with a bottomless pit of capital.

- pornel 3y agoOTOH everyone right now is fighting for Nvidia's GPUs, and I bet (ex)OpenAI people know exactly what hardware they'd like that would be best suited for their task.
- brucethemoose2 3y ago> know exactly what hardware they'd like that would be best suited for their task. Thats the fun thing about AI hardware. By the time you develop it (which takes years and billions), the workload you're targeting is already changed or obsolete. Nvidia is the exception because if you are an AI scholar, you are building your research around whatever capabilies Nvidia GPUs have. Thats why AMD and Intel have quite literally chosen the "emulate Nvidia" path and axed more specialized accelerators.
