ChatGPT's Hunger for Energy Could Trigger a GPU Revolution

The cost of making further progress in artificial intelligence is becoming as startling as a hallucination by ChatGPT. Demand for the graphics chips known as GPUs needed for large-scale AI training has driven prices of the crucial components through the roof. OpenAI has said that training the algorithm that now powers ChatGPT cost the firm over 100 million. The race to compete in AI also means that data centers are now consuming worrying amounts of energy. The AI gold rush has a few startups hatching bold plans to create new computational shovels to sell.
