That's true, but without the kind of horsepower provided by modern hardware, even though I'm skeptical that it's all needed, especially given DeepSeek's amazing results, AI would be nearly impossible.

There are some important innovations on the algorithm / network structure side, but all these ideas are only able to be tried because the hardware supports it. This stuff has been around for decades.



Deepseek required existing models that required the horsepower.


That was claimed but never proven. I personally don't believe the American companies making this claim. I suspect they made this up to protect their valuations when they were hideously embarassed and lost a trillion dollars in equity.
