>Dedicated capacity offering is limited by GPU availability. OpenAI also offers dedicated capacity, which provides customers with a private copy of the model. To access this service, customers must be willing to commit to a $100k spend upfront.

How many shell corporations are intelligence agencies seeding right now?

I never know if I have an inside scoop or an outside scoop. Has Hyena not addressed the scaling of context length [1]? I know this version is barely a month old but it was shared to me by a non-engineer the week it came out. Still, giving interviews where the person takes away that the main limitation is context length and requires a big breakthrough that already happened makes me seriously question whether or not he is qualified to speak on behalf of OpenAI. Maybe he and OpenAI are far beyond this paper and know it does not work but surely it should be addressed?

> is limited by GPU availability.

Which is all the more curious, considering OpenAI said this only in January:

> Azure will remain the exclusive cloud provider for all OpenAI workloads across our research, API and products [1]

So... OpenAI is severely GPU constrained, it is hampering their ability to execute, onboard customers to existing products and launch products. Yet they signed an agreement not to just go rent a bunch of GPU's from AWS???

Did someone screw up by not putting a clause in that contract saying "exclusive cloud provider, unless you cannot fulfil our requests"?

Having been recently taken aboard by the mothership I expect they'll start trying to tune out anything related to programming to push people towards co-pilot X..

It's pretty hilarious and annoying to see bing start to write code only to self censor itself after a few lines (deleting what was there! no wonder these guys love websockets and dynamic histories)

Whoops!

I’m hoping GPT will remove the information cutoff date. I write plenty of terraform/AWS and it’s a bit of a pain that the latest API isn’t accessible by GPT yet.

There’s been quite a bit happening in the programming space since sept 2021.

I use GPT to keep things high level and then do my normal research methodology for implementation details.

Perhaps they are cash flow constrained, which in turn means they are GPU constrained, since GPU's are their biggest expense?

It's not like an arbitrary imposition, that's the data it was trained on and it's expensive to train. I hope they find a way to continually train in new information too but it's not like they can just remove the cutoff date.

All AI companies (OpenAI included) are now working full tilt on making AIs improve themselves (writing their own code, inventing new pipelines etc). I don't know why choose anything else to work on. This is a prime directive, that will bring the greatest payoff.
