RT @quxiaoyin: Der Einstellungspreis von GLM beträgt $1.4 für Input und $4.4 für Output, doch bei @OpenRouter kann man deutlich günstigere Inference-Kosten von $0.6 für Input und $2.08 für Output erhalten. Zudem konkurrieren viele Neocloud-Anbieter um Preis, Durchsatz und Latenz.

Worth a listen 👂especially when Dr Sue Keay really gets going towards the end (but you need the start when a lot of the terms get explained - like ‘compute’ & ‘hyperscalers’). 😀

♥️ Love the info on the practical AI-robotics applications to control Crown of Thorns starfish & to migrate coral spawn to better temperatures for breeding so the Reef can move south. 🪸 (Didn’t know the Reef is the size of Italy!)

So many questions! 🤔 Why don’t we back ourselves more, why do so many of our best & brightest have to leave to get/develop their work, why don’t we invest more in research & development? 🤔 And whatever happened to all the work done on AI under the first Albanese govt? How & why was it watered down to some statement of non-binding expectations… 🤔🤔🤔

“There are other reasons to be bullish about #compute #standardisation. Chips from Nvidia’s Hopper range, which includes the H100, have held much of their rental value even as next-generation Blackwell models entered the market.

This flies in the face of a comment in March 2025 by Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s boss, that “when Blackwell starts shipping in volume, you couldn’t give Hoppers away”. It also suggests that #computed erivatives’ underlying #assets will not suddenly become worthless, the risk of which would slow adoption”

☁️ Neoclouds are powering the AI revolution, but the flat network architectures that support AI training and large language models can also create significant cybersecurity risks.

In neocloud and data center environments, limited internal segmentation means a single compromise can quickly lead to lateral movement and widespread operational impact.

Neoclouds market themselves in terms of sustainability, sovereignty, energy innovation and efficiency.

The reality is rather different.

Corey Sanders, Senior Vice President of Product at #neocloud provider CoreWeave, leads product strategy and execution for the company. His mission: Gain enterprises' trust for #CoreWeave's #AIcloud services. The challenge: slower-than-expected #enterpriseAI adoption so far and skyrocketing demand for #AIinfrastructure, including data center power and water resources.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

-- The shift from model building to #AIinference

-- The potential effect of reinforcement learning on #AIaccuracy

-- CoreWeave's new ARENA AI lab

-- NeoCloud architectures take on "#RAMageddon"

Erwan Menard spent six years at #Google, where he most recently worked as director of product management for Google's Cloud #AI services. Six months ago, he left to join #CrusoeCloud as senior vice president of product management. Crusoe Cloud, which offers everything from hosted #cloudcomputing services to renewable power sources, is best known for operating the #Stargate 1.2 gigawatt #datacenter campus in Abilene, Texas.

In this interview, Menard discusses the advantages of designing #neocloud data centers from the ground up to support AI workloads, and how the industry can meet exploding demand for #datacenter resources, including power, as technology evolves.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

- Challenges and opportunities in #AIcloud services
- Technical differences in neocloud and public cloud networks
- Gaining enterprises' trust in neoclouds
- Keeping #AIdatacenters sustainable

and more!

Upstart #cloudprovider Railway says it has won thousands of paying customers from startups to Fortune 500 companies -- which is not to mention this week's $100 million Series B funding round -- with its own take on efficient hardware design and built-in automation for infrastructure that doesn't include either #GPUs or #Kubernetes.

My writeup on the #neocloud forging its own path in the age of #AI, including an interview with founder and CEO Jake Cooper: https://www.techtarget.com/searchcloudcomputing/news/366637659/Upstart-cloud-provider-Railway-turns-heads-with-speed #cloudcomputing #rackscalehardware #enterprisetech #ITinfrastructure

Really interesting long-read about the economics of companies that sell GPU compute. It also has a list (Bill of Materials) of all components you'd need to start such a company from scratch!
