Why would Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google want Nvidia to remain dominant in hardware? Are you treating “big tech” like they all have one hive mind?

  For MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, the competitive advantage comes from having huge datasets (that Nvidia doesn't have). It's a symbiosis that benefits the data-rich and GPU-rich players.

    This still makes little sense as that scale will always matter. If you can drop the compute cost of a model by 10x it means you can increase model integrity/intelligence/speed etc beyond what your compute bound competitors have. Simply put, for the time being huge datasets are going to be needed and those with bigger (cleaner?) datasets will have a better behaving model.

    Where is the symbiosis? If data is the differentiator, how do the data owners benefit from Nvidia eating into their margins?
    • coldtea 3y ago
      It's sumbiosis based on a common factor they both appreciate: - the data/processing having to be large means the data-owners have a benefit - the data/processing having to be large means NVIDIA also has a benefit (sells more GPUs to handle all that load)

        Data owners are benefitting from having access to data while others don't. High processing cost is not a benefit to them at all. It's just a cost eating into their margins.
