I suppose the alternative it to go completely the other way and call it "sky net".
Yes Dave, that would be a great name. :)
IBM just announced it will ROT25 its name just in time for its AI pivot.
Anthropic’s $5B, 4-year plan to take on OpenAI

Imagine you're a tech company that pays software engineers $200K/year. There is a free open-source coding model that can double their productivity, but a commercial solution yields a 2.1x productivity improvement for $5000 annually per developer. Which do you pick?
Not sure if parent had a certain answer in mind, but my answer is OSS because (1) I can try it out whenever I want, and (2) I don't have the vexing experience of convincing the employer to purchase it.
That’s the endless «build vs buy” argument. And countless businesses are buying.

I know you said no details, but can you at least share a little bit more about Claude LLM's code generation?
There is a language with massive usage in the enterprise but with very few (if any) high quality code examples on the public internet. When given a broad task, GPT4 doesn’t just write incorrect code, it tries to do entire categories of things the language literally cannot do because of the ecosystem it runs inside. Claude does a much better job writing usable code, but more importantly it does NOT tell you to do thin…
GPT4 has built and deployed an entire SaaS for me in a week. I already have users.
The edits required were minimal --- maybe one screw-up for every 100 lines of code --- and I learned a lot of better ways to do things.

I don't this it's the same thing, at least for me.
In the GP's scenario, I wouldn't be building either piece of software.

#206If someone released a chatGPT/characterAI with NSFW content enabled it would eat into a big share of their users (and for characterAI, maybe take all of them). Seriously, look into what people are posting about when it comes to characterAI, and it's 80% "here's how to get around NSFW filters". Unsure why nobody is taking this very very obvious hole in AI tech.
You’re not wrong, but the consumer market for chatbots is (perceived to be) tiny and I think nobody really cares about it. the real money places like openAI are chasing is business money.

#207AI models are in a race to the bottom and everybody inside Anthropic knows it. Besides OpenAI, with billions to spend plus a partnership with MS, there's also Google, Apple, Meta and Amazon who can afford to run losses on AI for years without blinking an eye. And if that wasn't enough the Open Source world is releasing new models almost weekly now, for free. Anthropic is putting on a big show to convince gullible inv…
> convince gullible investors that there's money to be made with foundational models. There's not. This is a ridiculously myopic statement. Foundation models are an extremely powerful technological advancement and they will shake the global economy as very few things did in human history. It's hard to imagine how this is not obvious to everyone right now, specially here in this forum.
No one here is disputing that.
The question is whether whomever builds them can make a profit doing so, or will they just end up being the suckers that everyone who actually makes money piggybacks off. It's really not clear at the moment.

There are AI / datacenter focused GPUs (like the A100, H100 etc.). They do not have any graphics rendering circuitry.
> They do not have any graphics rendering circuitry. What? Not having a display output is not the same as not having graphics rendering circuitry. Here's vulkaninfo from an A100 box: https://gist.github.com/eiz/c1c3e1bd99341e11e8a4acdee7ae4cb4
This may not contradict what I said. Do you know for a fact these things are implemented using dedicated hardware?
Edit: I do not see a rasterizer anywhere in the block diagram (pg 14): https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-genomics-ep/ampere-archit...
Look at Turing's block diagram here (pg 20): https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/en-zz/Solutions/design-vis...
You can clearly see that the "Raster Engine" and "PolyMorph Engine" are missing from GA100 (but can be seen in TU100 for example).

#209So I have some questions about the monetization of these models. Do we end up with essentially licensing out models and allow others to include it into their products via a licensing fee? Will they be a pay to post rpc/http API? Do you sell me access to data sets that I can use your model architecture snippet and train my own weights?
Certainly, well at least for now, the compute and storage requirements are enough that someone will eventually run out of funny money and need to charge _someone_ a significant amount of money for utilizing it?

#210They need to skill up on being public and creating useful tech demos. That’s why OpenAI is currently winning, they know how to foster engagement and interest. Who had heard of Claude? Almost no one outside of our industry and probably within as well.
