OpenAI has unveiled an ambitious plan to surpass Google's infrastructure by developing multi-datacenter training systems. These systems will utilize gigawatt clusters, telecom networking, long haul fiber, hierarchical & asynchronous SGD, and distributed infrastructure winners. However, the significant energy consumption of these data centers is causing strain on the power grid, with electricity permits being a major hurdle for their construction. Issues such as silent data corruption and stragglers are also being addressed.
Giant, new gen of data/ AI training centers are almost here. 'Scale is all you need' ? - We will know soon https://t.co/gYdSV7siPg
OpenAI and Anthropic's biggest problem to building these datacenters is literally electricity. Datacenters put an insane amount of strain on the grid, so the electricity permits are the toughest part. https://t.co/T1Aq8s0sNu
Data centers are taking up so much energy for their worthless AI that there is not enough power left for others. https://t.co/MR6ByaaX9g
