Field Note #45. On "Deep Learning Infrastructure Innovation"

THE VISION.

  • Decentralized compute "creates a freer and cheaper base from which to research and develop artificial intelligence." (Id.)  Solving the bottlenecks of state dependency and computational expense are critical steps.
  • "Vastly increasing the scale of accessible compute, whilst simultaneously reducing its unit cost, opens the door to a completely new paradigm for deep learning for both research and industrial communities." (Id.)
