It seems to have been a plan for a long time, given their huge shift to unified memory architectures across most of their hardware.
They’re pretty much the only vendor where you can cost-effectively deploy a foundational LLM locally.
Still nobody build a unified memory model with HBM. I would buy Apple hardware, then. If I can put Linux on it.
Perhaps I can buy a used Instict with generics science acceleration, once the smoke clears. And add a couple solar kWp to my capacity.
It would seem so. On the other hand, it is puzzling that they did not also allocate the necessary resources to the development of LLMs. 🤷
Why bother? Just wait for one of the AI bro companies to go bust and buy the wreckage.
Hehe… 😈
