Tech Titans Team Up for AI Colossus: Microsoft and OpenAI Plan $100 Billion Supercomputer

News: Tech giants Microsoft and AI research lab OpenAI are joining forces on a monumental project: a $100 billion data center and supercomputer designed to revolutionize artificial intelligence. Codenamed "Stargate," this facility promises to be a game-changer in the world of AI.

The project's sheer scale is mind-boggling. Microsoft is reportedly footing the entire $100 billion bill to build a massive data center complex. This complex will house Stargate, a supercomputer unlike any other. Imagine millions of specialized chips working in unison, crunching data at an unprecedented speed.

A fascinating look at the big picture. I've always wondered about that. I'm an Apple guy at home but I am so impressed with what MS has done in the last few years. I run MS Edge and Bing AI on my desktop at home and at work. The brilliance of these people is just beyond belief. Seriously impressive engineering.

The number of iterations in the technology stack that they've done in the background is massive. To make these tools usable, scalable, distributed, and likely things I don't even comprehend since it's out of my domain, is massive. I can't imagine how much it costs to use this stack, probably an enterprise level offering.

OpenAI and Microsoft are hoping to create a breeding ground for the next generation of AI models. Stargate's immense processing power will allow them to train AI systems far more powerful than anything we've seen so far. This could lead to breakthroughs in fields as diverse as medicine, materials science, and climate change research.

Absolutely fascinating looking at the BTS of these incredibly powerful AI tools now. I was always guessing that the easier something looks and feels for the consumer, ALOT of manpower, cost, time, and resources would have gone into making that a reality. Massive respect to Microsoft for transparency and releasing videos on how they're building their AI capabilities.

A very good session showing what is under the covers with Microsoft's AI computing. Microsoft is doing a good job with confidential compute which is ultra important for businesses who want to use AI for both the business & their customers.

Stargate isn't expected to be operational until 2028. But the potential impact is already generating excitement. Imagine AI that can design new drugs, develop revolutionary materials, or help us solve complex environmental challenges. Stargate could be the key to unlocking these possibilities.

Of course, such an ambitious project raises questions. What specific technologies will be used in Stargate? How much energy will this data center guzzle? And perhaps most importantly, how will we ensure that this powerful AI is developed and used responsibly?

The neural network draws inspiration from the intricate workings of our brain's neurons. Our goal must be to replicate nature's efficiency rather than diverge from it.

This $100B super computer reminds me of the truck-sized 5 megabyte hardware by IBM in 1956. Looks like we have a long way to go.

A good point. What human brains make up for in energy efficiency, they lack in robustness and speed. Computers might consume more energy, but they also have perfect memory, scalable memory, and high speed processing.

The Supercomputer:

For AI, they're not building compute for a single brain, but for millions of brains (instances or inferences of each AI). The stuff they are building is to be used by everyone. So efficiency is extremely important obviously, but if they have the power supply built, then when they get more efficient, they'll have space to do more computing with the same power.

Microsoft and OpenAI haven't released all the details yet. But one thing is clear: the race to build the most powerful AI is heating up. Stargate is a bold step in that race, and its success could have a profound impact on our world.

I don't think people know how insane MSFT execution of their AI strategy is - I have never ever seen a company execute a strategy so cohesively as a unit - not even a small business - let alone a behemoth like MSFT. To get every single department of MSFT to work collaboratively to embed AI into every product is unheard of.

Chat GPT Now Has Memory Across Chats

Chat GPT , the popular chatbot from OpenAI, just got a major upgrade. It can now remember things you've told it across different chats. This means no more repeating yourself! What's crazy is knowing this is still the early days of LLMs . A year ago they couldn't remember much, but now they're on the way to an unlimited context window and memory, and GPT-5 will be even more human-like. I wonder how big GPT-5 will be. They made GPT-4 Turbo better while heavily reducing its size. How Does It Work? Chat GPT's memory is like a friend remembering things you tell them. You can tell Chat GPT to specifically remember something, or it can pick up on important details from your conversations. The more you chat with Chat GPT, the better its memory becomes. This is where we no longer have to hit the use limit by uploading information or having to ultimately start over just to get the same results you got last time. You can literally go deeper. It's becoming more personal by ...

Use Chat GPT and Stop Wasting Time on Mind Maps

Stop Wasting Time on Mind Maps : Use Chat GPT and Markmap. Blog : Struggling to create mind maps for studying or untangling complex topics? Ditch the hours of manual work and leverage the power of AI. With Chat GPT and Markmap, you can now generate comprehensive mind maps in minutes, freeing up your time to focus on what matters – understanding the information. I discovered that using a GCA (Goal, Context, Action) prompt structure makes my interactions with Chat GPT more effective, giving me exactly the answers I'm looking for. Also, exploring mind maps has enhanced my creativity by illustrating the connections between ideas! The first field in custom instructions is not about what role should Chat GPT take, but it is about you providing information about yourself to Chat GPT. You are providing a context about yourself, so it tries to provide output also based on knowledge about you as a person. Here's how it works: Fire up Chat GPT. This AI tool is like a brainstorming buddy...
