It’s not surprise that the real efficiency gains came out of China.
Most of AI is funded by NVIDIA explicitly and obviously as a way to goose their stock price. You think AI companies who depend on getting money from NVIDIA on the condition they buy a lot of NVIDIA GPUs are going to go out of their way to lower the cost of compute?
Edit: Actually, I think it doesn’t matter. AI is so divorced from reality, OpenAI can say they lowered the cost of compute by 95% and therefore they have to triple their orders of GPUs.
I’m no expert, but I’ll bet that there is plenty of work being done on the ultra-high level to maximize usage of their resources.
