Huawei’s HiSilicon Can Compete With Nvidia GPUs In China
Each time that the United States has figured out that it needed to do export controls on massively parallel compute engines to try to discourage China from buying such gear and building supercomputers with them, it has already been too late to have much of a long term effect on China’s ability to run the advanced HPC simulations and AI training workloads that we were worried would be enabled by such computing oomph. …

How To Make More Money Renting A GPU Than Nvidia Makes Selling It
It is not a coincidence that the companies that got the most “Hopper” H100 allocations from Nvidia in 2023 were also the hyperscalers and cloud builders, who in many cases wear both hats and who are as interested in renting out their GPU capacity for others to build AI models as they are in innovating in the development of large language models. …
