Posits, a revolution in mathematics? - Actu IA

Mathematics plays a prominent role in the developments brought about by artificial intelligence in recent years: we think in particular of machine learning, or computational neuroscience. Recently, two researchers have started what could be a revolution thanks to posits, which are nothing more or less than a different way of representing numbers. We have to consider a huge computing power to make revolutionary AI applications work. Do you know, for example, how many operations it took to train GPT-3, Open AI's most advanced language model? All at an estimated cost of $5 million.
