OpenAI has developed a new generative model called Shap-E, allowing users to generate 3D assets and neural radiance fields from text and images. Shap-E is compatible only with Nvidia GPUs, requiring high performance CPUs for efficient rendering. Despite the challenging installation process, Shap-E is freely available to use on Microsoft Paint 3D and convert into an STL file for 3D printing.
Take a look at the jaw-dropping story of how much it costs to run OpenAI's ChatGPT! From the first city to implement it in Japan to the Microsoft-funded effort to develop the more affordable and efficient AI chip named Athen, explore the amazing journey of AI and its capacity for amazing results. Hear from leading computer scientists and deep learning experts who provide insight into this burgeoning field and its potential for automation, no manual help needed!
OpenAI's ChatGPT is creating a huge buzz due to its immense costs, with research firm SemiAnalysis estimating it to cost $700,000 a day to operate. To lower the expensive fees, ChatGPT has introduced the 'Plus' tier, in addition to relying on Microsoft's proprietary AI chips to offer its customers support. Analysts expect OpneAI to require an extra 30,000 GPUs from Nvidia over the course of 2023, although how this will help reduce the costs is yet to be seen.
IBM and Moderna join forces to explore the potential of quantum computing and generative AI in the life sciences sector. Leveraging AI to boost knowledge on vaccines, medicines and climate change, this partnership could help speed up the development of lifesaving treatments. Supercomputer systems and quantum computing tools will be used to uncover critical insights.
Microsoft is a leading technology giant in the world, developing powerful and efficient solutions to power its ChatGPT system. Its secretive hardware project from 2019, which included codenamed "Athena" chips, is designed to reduce reliance on costly Nvidia GPUs and aid machine learning algorithms. Microsoft is also in competition with tech giants such as Amazon, Google and Meta who develop their own AI chips for various applications. Sam Altman of OpenAI is involved in the development of these models and Elon Musk recently announced his TruthGPT project - an AI language system.
