Training AI Might Not Need Massive Data Centers
2025-01-14
Tech giants are vying to build massive data centers with tens or even hundreds of thousands of GPUs to train AI models. However, an article in *The Economist* suggests this trend may soon change. Future AI model training might not require massive hardware infrastructure, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated hardware altogether. Advances in distributed computing and new algorithms will allow training complex AI models on regular computer networks, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for AI research and promoting wider adoption of AI technology.
