Microsoft builds powerful public supercomputer in the world that is touted to be the fifth most potent publically recorded supercomputer. The computer is to be hosted in the Azure cloud and is designed to train various Artificial Intelligence models.
Kevin Scott, chief technical officer, Microsoft, emphasizes how the supercomputer will enable the users to do things that were previously deemed to be unimaginable.
Developed in collaboration with OpenAI, the computer will help to train research organization’s AI models.
Microsoft’s AI for Scale Initiative aims to move AI models from smaller to larger models with the supercomputer’s help. Since long, AI researchers have claimed better performance through massive AI models than smaller, isolated models currently in use.
The new supercomputer can absorb grammatical knowledge, nuances of language, context, and context. The company told in a blog post that this ability allows the model to excel at multitasks:
- Summarizing a lengthy speech
- Moderating content in love gaming chats
- Finding relevant passages across thousands os legal files
- Generating codes from scouring GitHub
Microsoft has built Microsoft Turing models, its own large AI models, which help improve language understanding of products such as Office, Bing, and more.
OpenAI wants to use the model to bring new AI technologies. Whereas, Microsoft aims to attract new clients for Azure as a superior cloud platform against its competitors.
