Elon Musk is always attempting to do something that looks impossible and yes he's going to fail multiple times as usual but eventually he gets it done. What is he up to this time?
Well now, Bro is trying to build an AI Supercomputer that operates at superhuman speeds and he wants to do this in 19 days
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia is very shocked by Musk's ambition and it's very understandable why he should be.
I shared a blog about what Elon Musk's xAI company just did. A project that usually takes years was completed by xAI in under a month, and it was not just any supercomputer but a supercomputer made up of 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
But what do you think this kind of speed means for the future of AI development.
Elon Musk is smart, a go getter and very futuristic in thinking and I believe that played a role in the current success of xAI but what I love about what's going on in this hot race to dominate the AI world is how this kind of innovation pushes every other AI company else to keep up.
The bar just keeps getting raised faster than most people can even comprehend and whether this is for better or for worse, I don't think this pace of AI development will slow down anytime soon.
I see Musk and his team operating on a whole different level. There’s just something almost concerning about it. I wonder if it's because he set up the best team in the world or he's got funding that no one else has but his products are very exceptional.
But you see, the people working for Elon Musk are human beings not robots. The question on my mind is how much strain does this rapid development put on the people working for him?
Jensen Huang commended the engineering and infrastructure teams responsible for the progress but we know projects like this usually demand impossible deadlines.
So is this going to be the new norm? We keep celebrating superhuman achievements without asking what it costs those workers involved in making it happen.
And another issue is the technology itself. You have 100,000 GPUs and they're all working together. They've named the whole structure Colossus, and it will definitely push the boundaries of AI training and will reshape how we understand and interact with technology.
Another fear in my heart is how far can this go before we end up building something too powerful to control? You may think "Oh" the engineers and experts are good at their work, but somethings can go wrong and out of hand.
The speed at which we're moving with AI development is my biggest concern and not other things like loss jobs for people.
