Jordi asserts that despite increasing focus on AI safety and potential discussions around slowdowns, the fundamental demand for compute power in AI development will not decrease. He points to the advancements in hardware like Blackwell and the anticipated power of Vera Rubin chips as indicators of continued exponential growth in computational needs. Jordi believes that the training side of AI development will proceed as planned, driven by capitalist goals and the necessity of capital investment, making a slowdown highly unlikely.
“In no way shape or form after what happened here is are the compute needs going down. If anything, they're going to continue to go faster and the focus may shift to safety, but the training side will continue to go as planned.”
“This is all before we get Vera Rubin chips. So the power that we're still working on at this point is all Blackwell. Vera Rubins are going to be, um, the next stage. And the more compute power you get, the more you're going to end up with even further advances.”
“I don't think there is any way that the slowdown will happen. I just don't see how, um, they're going to allow these companies that have capitalist goals, they're both trying to raise money, they need to raise money.”
