AI Hardware, Explained.

In 2011, Marc Andreessen said, “software is eating the world.” And in the last year, we’ve seen a new wave of generative AI, with some apps becoming some of the most swiftly adopted software products of all time. In this first part of our three-part series – we explore the terminology and technology that is now the backbone of the AI models taking the world by storm. We explore what GPUs are, how they work, and the key players like Nvidia competing for chip dominance. Look out for the rest of our series, where we dive even deeper; covering supply and demand mechanics, where open source plays a role, and of course… how much all of this truly costs!
