Episode 106 – Multicloud, Deep Fakes, AI, and More

Topic 1: Stop Talking About Multicloud and Hybrid Cloud

Topic 3: Next Up – Open AI that doesn’t require massive compute power

New AI project can generate convincing text that anyone can use. The makers of Eleuther hope it will be an open source alternative to GPT-3, the well-known language program from OpenAI.

The Eleuther project makes use of distributed computing resources, donated by cloud company CoreWeave as well as Google, through the TensorFlow Research Cloud, an initiative that makes spare computer power available.
