Democratizing LLMs Needs a Revolution in AI Hardware
Andrew Feldman is CEO of Cerebras, a startup that specializes in AI hardware. There is growing concern that artificial intelligence (AI)--namely deep learning--is becoming centralized within a few very wealthy companies. This shift does not apply to all areas of AI, but it is certainly the case for large language models (LLMs). Accordingly, there has been growing interest in democratizing LLMs and making them available to a broader audience. However, while there have been impressive initiatives in open-sourcing models, the hardware barriers of LLMs have gone mostly unaddressed.
