Elon Musk and Charles Liang of Supermicro are teaming up to make Elon's Tesla and X supercomputers greener machines. Supermicro's DLC liquid cooling is supposed to help heavily reduce the power draw of the AI-heavy Tesla Gigafactory and xAI supercomputers.

The only real advantage of advanced nodes is AI (games don't count), so it is no suprise everybody is all in on it. (Otherwise, why prevent China from accessing the last nodes ?)

But all these gigantic clusters of GPUs for chatbots, that are not reliable and still need experts to look at their outputs to make sure they haven't soiled the sheets, leave me dubious. I'm not conviced they will produce any productivity gain.

There are a lot of uses of AI that make a lot more sense than that, IMHO. And probably these don't need trillions of parameters to be useful.

Chatbots? Lmao. 350k of GPU's are used for completely different tasks. Its likely for tesla and space related things.

Everyone rushing out to buy these GPUs is going to have egg on their face when they're obsolete in 2 years.

This may lead to preserving 20 billion trees for our planet❤️

You know what else would have preserved those trees?

Not making that Gigafactory, and not filling it with thousands of racks with power hungry servers and GPUs

Literally not clearing the large chunk of land and pouring concrete on it to build the factory / datacenter would have probably saved a lot of trees.

Jensen will release a new version of those GPU that are 10-20% faster but 2x price increase. 🤣

If a certain event happens in Taiwan, those GPUs could retain or even increase in value. 🙂

Elon Musk took Jensen’s “The more you buy, the more you save”, marketing very seriously. In the end, it only ended up saving Nvidia. In reality, the more you buy, the more you spend because these hardware are not powered by air.

I think the Tesla self-driving feature needs all the GPUs he can get.
