AWS/Azure prices are really awful TBH. There are already much better places to get GPUs.
- wslh 3y agoI know but, for example, Google Cloud has a current advantage with their own hardware (TPUs). What is approximately the cost of training something like ChatGPT or Gemini? They have an advantage because they can rely in Azure and Google respectively without paying anything or with subsidised prices. Could a new player compete with them for training for other companies?
- brucethemoose2 3y agoGoogle prices the TPUs pretty exorbitantly, actually. But they give a lot of TPU time away for research, which is nice. It seems Intel Gaudi 2 is priced in a sweeter spot, but I've never head of anyone but Intel using them.
