ChatGPT's Hunger for Energy Could Trigger a GPU Revolution
With AI projects booming and the physical limits of silicon looming, some startups are challenging Nvidia's dominance and say it’s time to reinvent the computer chip entirely.
“We are taking our learnings from quantum computing software and hardware and bringing it to the full-stack thermodynamic paradigm.” (Verdon was recently revealed as the person behind the popular meme account on X Beff Jezos, associated with the so-called effective accelerationism movement that promotes the idea of a progress toward a “technocapital singularity”.) The idea that a broader rethink of computing is needed may be gaining momentum as the industry runs into the difficulty of maintaining Moore’s law, the long-standing prediction that the density of components on chips continues shrinking. At a conference that he helped organize recently in Aspen, Colorado, a group of researchers from Holland showed off an idea for a mechanical cochlear implant that harnesses sound waves to power its computations.
