Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

I think to some extent.

I mean, like, if you need to justify millions being spent on something, that's probably easier than justifying billions, right?

So the Oak May I and others announced a fire front of billions for Stargate.

I hope they did some math, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Again, but the math here is beyond just training bigger models.

Even if you just stay at current capabilities,

We need to deploy them.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

More and more people will be using them.

AI agents might be working.

They got a need to be running somewhere.

And that's to some degree the nice thing about compute.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

You're not making a specific bet saying, oh, large language models are the thing.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

You're basically saying like, look, having more of something is useful.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

It's hard to say because, of course, they publicly don't tell us.

There have actually been some papers coming out of Google where they talked about the environmental footprint.

And in video, I think they asked in video on AWS, the question is like, what is an AI workload?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Are your recommender systems you use for Instagram also AI workloads?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

So if you look at it this way, then AI is like computers predominantly being used for deploying systems, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

This might look different if you look at a frontier lab.

But I think over time, you see the share of deployment getting higher.
