Our company can buy NVIDIA gear. Google TPU, well, is google's property I have no control over. This site is overrepresented by clod folks. In reality ~90% of the workloads are NOT cloud based. Unless one can buy Google/Amazon/Meta T/N/AI/PUs that unique optimizations are irrelevant for the most of the workloads.

Why 90%? Why don't you go on the cloud for training at least if it's not healthcare data?

Is it because you don't need to buy many gpus to do your workload?

Reasons why people don't go on the cloud were outlined many times, i.e. https://world.hey.com/dhh/we-have-left-the-cloud-251760fb was discussed on HN many times.

I could have written almost the same reasons for GPU workloads.
