Nvidia offers up AI supercomputer for non-profit research ZDNet

OpenAI's researchers gather around the first AI supercomputer in a box, Nvidia DGX-1. Dubbed an "AI supercomputer-in-a-box", the DGX-1 will be used by the non-profit research team to explore the challenges surrounding artificial intelligence. There are some things that machines are simply better at doing than humans, but humans still have plenty going for them. Here's a look at how the two are going to work in concert to deliver a more powerful future for IT, and the human race. The idea is to find ways OpenAI can use the supercomputer as it works on projects like artificial personal assistants, autonomous cars, and robots for the everyman. Debuted earlier this year, Nvidia describes the DGX-1 system as the first deep learning supercomputer that's built for artificial intelligence.
