Latest A.I. News
AI is expensive to run yo!
Google may have another problem if AI takes off like we all know it will - a huge increase in costs!
Apparently, search via AI can be 10 times the cost of search using normal keywords!
Some analysts predict this could run to anything from $3B - $6B in terms of costs in a few years! Not exactly a company that is apparently "cost-cutting" wants to hear right now! And it also remains to be seen how much more per ad Google could charge (CPC/CPM etc) not using an ad via AI could warrant extra costs, unless Google dreams up some insane new relevant ad units using generative AI, and who knows, maybe they will
The $10k Chip powering AI
Never mind the Google/Microsoft Race that heating up the AI space - there is another race happening behind the scenes. This is a race for computing and GPU power. And the race leader is clearly Nvidia with their A100 chip fast becoming the defacto piece of hardware to power the AI revolution.
The chip has become so sought after that it pushed Nvidia's share price higher even off the back of lower sales this quarter as the future is clear.
The A100 is the powerhouse of AI with its ability to perform multiple simple calculations simultaneously which is needed for training AI models. How in demand is it you ask? Well, Last year Stability AI was working off 32 A100's. Fast forward and they now have access and are working with 5,400 A100 GPU - quite an increase!
But the others are hot on their heals with Intel and other chip makers looking to get into the space quickly
