“microsoft, and particularly azure, don’t get nearly enough credit for the stuff openai launches. they do an amazing amount of work to make it happen; we are deeply grateful for the partnership. they have built by far the best AI infra out there.”
To add some context to this seemingly random praise:
> Microsoft is reportedly in advanced talks with OpenAI to invest more in the seven-year-old research company.
> … The money would come on top of the $1 billion Microsoft invested in OpenAI in 2019 in a deal that included OpenAI agreeing to jointly develop new supercomputing technologies for Azure based on its AI products and making Azure its exclusive cloud provider.
Why doesn't Microsoft create a top ranking Supercomputing Installation and introduce a new category function while they are at that? Is there a shortage of new ideas for shaping "qualia" to go in a Supercomputing Environment?
