Using Artificial Intelligence technology (IA) extremely advanced, ChatGPT has been moving the technology market in recent weeks. Given the high adherence of companies and users to the system, Microsoft is working to remain a leader in AI solutions.
For that, the technology giant made an investment of thousands of dollars in building supercomputers to run the ChatGPT software. The goal is to optimize computers to support Bing's powerful AI algorithms.
Like this, Microsoft invested in thousands of Nvidia cards, servers, infrastructure and also personnel. The new technologies invested allow the unlocking of higher levels of machine learning, facilitating the training of this model.
The official value of this investment was not disclosed, although, the company stated it was “hundreds of thousands of dollars”. The information was passed on in an interview with Bloomberg by Microsoft's vice president of Artificial Intelligence and Cloud, Scott Guthrie.
Technology detail
All supercomputer assembly was carried out using the Azure platform, from Microsoft itself. The machines have NVSwitch and NVLink 4.0, bisectional bandwidth of 3,6 TBS linked to 8 Local GPUs within each virtual machine.
Microsoft's investment of “hundreds of millions” was diluted over the years from the moment the company became a shareholder in OpenAI, ChatGPT developer. Now, Microsoft could make money by renting its Azure AI servers to rival companies to OpenAI.
But, what is ChatGPT?
Going to a retail website and finding a chat room for automated customer service is not new technology.. E, in general, this is a chatbot, automated conversation tool, which is also the base technology of the ChatGPT system.
This is AI software designed to optimize communication conversations and texts. Although, unlike a standard chat, OpenAI's solution works with a much higher level of Artificial Intelligence, through “Transfer Learning” processes.
Based on reading a vast database and language examples, the system can formulate responses and commands, creating conversations and texts as a whole.
News on the market
The news involving chatbot and ChatGPT doesn't stop. This last week, there was a leak of a new chatbot project template from Meta. On Tuesday, 14, the social network Koo announced that it will introduce the ChatGPT system in its application to improve posts.
The promise is that Artificial Intelligence will continue to move the market. Beyond Microsoft, Chinese giants and companies like Google and Amazon work assiduously to remain among the leaders in the segment.
