With GDS, we get to skip the CPU and go straight to parallel arrays of network/ssd cards, where 100GB/s is very doable We don't have a lot of our customers doing that yet... but they're definitely some of the more fun on

Any sense of comparison to Dremio, which helped steward the Arrow ecosystem for doing this kind of thing? (The idea is great fwiw, I've been following them one-off for years, and we have to do elements of these things in how we build l

If I was any of these companies, I'd totally invest many billions in ecosystem here. Tensorflow (Google) and pytorch (Facebook) are great examples, it can work. Otherwise, hw companies will continue to lose relevance in the growing ser

Agreed. If there is a niche that is at the intersection of multiple specialties, and it includes GPU acceleration, there is a good chance it is ripe for a startup to get an early mover advantage. Eg, real-time foundation models for audio ar

this seems super misleading Amazon nailed high revenue growth from the very beginning, just reinvesting in growth & deferring the margin story. They could have stopped at any time. Google nailed high traffic from the beginning, so ad sa

For AI projects, afaict, 12k stars or forks is more akin to downloads than contributors & downstreams. GitHub is the app distribution, not just source distribution. I've been curious how to model this better..

Curious why? This is maybe 1/3 of my use of GPT4. Quite often, the log dump and nearby code is enough, often even without explicit instructions. Being able to do this task is similar to GitHub CoPilot code autocomplete working well too

The nice thing about a GPU soln (ex: python dataframes in cudf, just a few loc) is these generally come down to your IO bandwidth, like a single 2GB/s SSD to a 16-32 GB/s PCIe to 1-2 GPUs running crazy fast. And then buy more chea

Yes, but not the reasons you're thinking - If you have a fixed time budget and increase the GPU memory+compute available, you can directly query a bigger model. Raw models are basically giant lookup functions, and without the extra mem
