jp7189 Regarding GPT5 in your pocket, not anytime soon. These large datacenters will still have a place. Even if when a mobile phone arrives that can run gpt5 distilled down to e.g. 4 bit precision with results that are 80% as good, people will continue demanding that last 20% at a premium. E.g. a datacenter model at higher precision and parameter count. Reply

jp7189 How long until a place is found with 0 red tape to drop SMRs. SMR for power, river water for cooling, starlink for connectivity = massive tax revenue and exploding economy. Reply

trica Nvidia fixed the GPU shortage? Amazing! So when can I expect a 5090 on the shelves at less than "screw you and your whole savings account" prices? Reply

Nvidia likes things the way they are, they are building the top end without any restraint, and charging whatever they want, and people are paying it. That won't go away any time soon, maybe ever. The first steps down this road were the Titan models. Now X090 = Titan, with tons of stupidly expensive ram and chips that can literally warm up your house. The X080 cards are what Nvidia would have been selling 10+ years ago as the top model. Reply

ekio These people really live on a different planet… They have enough money to buy 50k gpu by 100000s but they can’t install them. In the mean time the average American struggles with their groceries…. Reply
