The Apple Vision Pro's $3,500 price tag=

Training great LLMs entirel=
y from ground zero in the wilderness as a startup (15 minute read)
Training AI models requires compute, bu=
t there's a large amount of instability and huge variance in the quality of=
clusters, accelerators, and connectivity in compute providers. This articl=
e discusses the differences between training models at Google and training =
models 'in the wild' - outside of Google, where data scientists have to use=
GPUs instead of Google's TPUs. It makes comparisons between Google's infra=
structure and tools to their equivalents in the outside world. With the rig=
ht amount of brute technical strength, it is possible to train models from =
scratch that match Gemini Pro/GPT 3.5.
