Everything they do needs LOTS of compute. GPT-4 training alone took 100 million GPU hours to train. And they are constantly training new models. And even non-training research is VERY expensive[1]. Without compute that organization is as good as dead.

- CPLX 3y agoYeah they also have literally the most valuable and in demand new tech product in a generation. The idea that Microsoft is somehow the one with the leverage here is fucking delusional yet I see it in every thread over this weekend. They could get caught with a dumpster full of dead babies and there will still be a line around the block of people that want to partner with them.

Investor interest stems from focus on product. Having most valuable and in demand product in a generation doesn't matter if you bury it into the ground. > The idea that Microsoft is somehow the one with the leverage here is fucking delusional yet I see it in every thread over this weekend. If you think that anyone will give billions of dollars to organization that fucks their investors and is that much unstable, you are the one delusional.
