News Elon Musk took 19 days to set up 100,000 Nvidia H200 GPUs; process normally takes 4 years

wow i've never seen this much hate for a person just because he doesn't censor people they disgree with as much as the rest of their cronies do.

Musk himself said, a couple months ago, putting this cluster together took 122 days. Now it's only 19?

Also, according to a previous Toms article, the assembly was actually performed by Dell?

According to Michael Dell, the head of the high-tech giant, Dell developed and assembled the Colossus system quickly. This highlights that the server maker has accumulated considerable experience deploying AI servers during the last few years' AI boom.

you know i keep seeing people say this.

tesla does something amazing "elon didn't do it, he hired people to do it"
spacex does a once in a lifetime engineering marvel "elon didn't do it, he hired people to do it"
elon sets up an ai datacenter in 19days that normally takes 4 years "elon didn't do it, he hired people to do it"

Even if you're right and elon is not a competent engineer (something i think his career disproves but whatever, i won't argue it), he certainly might be the most competent hiring manager in the history of mankind. you only get this lucky once in your life and he keeps doing it.

Nope, it just takes having enough money to attract the top people, and the will to do it, of course.

Elon is a little higher than average intelligence and got lucky about the social brainwashing that the government agenda pushed, so first mainstream to market meant everything, to have enough money to do the things he wanted to.

Sadly what he is spending money on, is just a few years leap ahead of what mankind would achieve anyway, unlike some other notable figures like Bill Gates who has been trying to improve quality of life for suffering fellow humans.

The question is not, what can you do with a boatload of money but instead, what can you do that makes a lasting difference.

Lastly, no the process to set up that many GPUs does not take 4 years unless you're just trying to add up the time 1 takes, multiplied by the rest serially instead of concurrently which merely needs more competent bodies thrown at the job, same as any other job.

Or there is a reason it's not done this way. Wouldn't be the first time Musk decided he knows better, ignores the institutional knowledge a industry had built and then has to make exactly all those mistakes until he ...does it the way everyone else does. See ... everything Tesla has ever done in vehicle manufacturing. Or Musk demanding they stop a bunch of "useless services" and breaking Twitter... repeatedly. Or his bad code he writes that is just .... funny. That ones mostly funny, no-one uses his code. He's a terrible coder by all accounts. "Print your code and come explain it to me!" That's just funny. He's a laughable person. A sad laughable half-smart person.

So yeah, let's give it 6 months and see what unforeseen consequences, if any, reveal themselves.

You sound like you must be fun at parties.

Elon Musk's efficiency is just incredible and should be studied and imitated by every business owner and entrepreneur.
