The hurdle for OpenAI is going to be on the profit side. Google has their own hardware acceleration and their own data centers. OpenAI has to pay a monopolist for hardware acceleration and beholden to another tech giant for data centers. Never mind that Google can customize it's hardware specifically for it's models.

The only way for OpenAI to really get ahead on solid ground is to discover some sort of absolute game changer (new architecture, new algorithm) and manage to keep it bottled away.

OpenAI has now partnered with Jony Ive now and they are going to have thinnest data centers with thinnest servers mounted on thinnest racks. And since everything is so thin, servers can just whisper to each other instead of communicating via fat cables.

I think that will be the game changer OpenAI will show us soon.

All servers will have a single thunderbolt port.

Yep and I heard the servers will only have two USB-C ports for all I/O, but of course dongles will be available.

Don't they have a data center in progress as we speak? Seems by now they're planning on building not just one huge data center in Texas, but more in other countries too.

Well that data center is just going to be full of Nvidia GPUs hence "pay to monopolist" part.

Guess the part I put in quotes should have had a "or" instead of "and" there.
