Is this really the most powerful “AI cluster” or is this an exaggeration? I would expect that hyperscalers like Google or Amazon would actually have the largest amount of compute power to throw at AI. Or is that no longer true?
EDIT: I see a comment that has a graph of AI compute across different companies. I am not sure if this is trustworthy however, as the graph is itself just generated by an LLM (Claude):

- danpalmer 2y agoI'd say this graph is absolute rubbish. The fact that the numbers are round numbers, decreasing in even steps, with no units, no comparison, incorrect scaling, and incorrect layout for a graph, suggests that this is little more than fanfiction. The truth is that the hyperscalers are very closely guarding information around things like this. Who has the biggest "cluster" is impossible to answer. Also most hyperscalers will have many clusters, and what's more useful, the SUM or MAX of those clusters? At a small scale probably the MAX, but at a large scale the SUM because you can distribute across clusters without as much loss in overheads and because you have a range of jobs to run.
- Havoc 2y agoNo the chart is wrong.
- blitzar 2y agoFor these numbers to be correct Nvidia would have to be committing securities fraud on a scale never seen before.
- MertsA 2y agoThe data in that graph is just complete misinformation. https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/12/data-center-engineering/building-metas-genai-infrastructure/ https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/12/data-center-engineerin...
