What in tarnation is going on with the cost of compute

The author expresses surprise and frustration over the drastic and sustained increase in server GPU prices (H100/H200/B200) on platforms like Vast and Mithril, reaching over $1k per hour. This situation is deemed unaffordable for academics and startups, hindering the author's ability to complete projects like a BitNet pipeline for the localLlama community.

It is the process of rapidly ever improving differentiation between noise and signal patterns and constant generalization of those that produces intelligence, not merely compression of data. [D]

The text contends that true intelligence stems from differentiating noise and signal patterns and constant generalization, not merely data compression. It criticizes current AI for lacking an intrinsic, unavoidable goal and robust feedback, which hinders the emergence of intelligence as observed in humans.

Why do only big ML labs dominate widely-used models despite many open-source pretrained models smaller labs could do RL on? [D]

The content questions why large AI labs dominate widely-used models like GPT and Claude, despite the existence of many open-source pretrained models of similar scale. The author suggests that Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is key to the superiority of these models and wonders why it wouldn't be more accessible for smaller labs.
