Where is Apple? Even from an investment perspective.

Losing the race

This is not something that can be won. The LLM architecture has been reaching it's limitations slowly but surely. New foundational models are now being tweaked for user engagement rather than productive output.

Strange unit of measurement. Who would find that more useful than expected compute or even just the number of chips.

It's a very useful reference point actually because once you hit 1.21 GW the AI model begins to learn at a geometric rate and we finally get to real AGI. Last I've heard this was rumored as a prediction for AI 2027, so we're almost there already.

For someone who doesn't know what a gigawat worth of Nvidia systems is, how many high-end H100 or whatever does this get you? My estimates along with some poor-grade GPT research leads me to think it could be nearly 10 million? That does seem insane.

and How much is that in terms of percentage of bitcoin network capacity ?

In accounting terms, this is a shady business practice known as "round tripping" where you invest in a company for the sole purpose of them buying your product. It allows you to count your revenue multiple times.

Is it counting revenue multiple times? It's buying your own products really, but not sure how that counts as double counting revenue

> Strategic partnership enables OpenAI to build and deploy at least 10 gigawatts of AI datacenters with NVIDIA systems representing millions of GPUs I know watts but I really can’t quantify this. How much of Nvidia is there in the amount of servers that consume 10GW? Do they all use the same chip? What if there is newer chip that consumes less, does the deal imply more servers? Did GPT write this post?

You don’t need AI to write vague waffly press releases. But to put this in perspective an H100 has a TDP of 700 watts, the newer B100s are 1000 watts I think?

Also, the idea of a newer Nvidia card using less power is très amusant.
