I feel threatened.

By comparison, xAI’s supercomputer capacity isn’t public but is estimated to be around 500 exaflops.

Edit: And that’s just fucking X of all companies so imagine what an actual serious company like Google or Microsoft could have cooked up.

So while this is impressive, going CPU-only has probably resulted in a computer which costs an order of magnitude more while performing an order of magnitude less.

There is a reason the GPU architecture is still king in this aspect.

These are super computers for HPC, not “AI model training”. The link inside is saying it’s using AI to do quantum chemistry, not developing AI itself.
