NVIDIA's Underestimated Risk: A Threat Lurking in the Shadows
NVIDIA has been exceptionally aggressive this year. The consensus among tech giants seems to be a relentless pursuit of computational power. Part of the reason is that many large models are built on the Transformer architecture, which demands high computational power. But if, in the iterative process, the Transformer is gradually replaced by architectures with lower computational requirements, could this become NVIDIA's "latent risk"?
