OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that having large amounts of RAM installed in personal computers is an inefficient use of the world’s increasingly limited DRAM supply, arguing that cloud data centers can make better use of these resources. His comments come at a particularly controversial time, as the AI industry’s enormous demand for memory continues to drive consumer hardware prices through the roof. During a recent Cheeky Pint podcast interview with Stripe co-founder John Collison, Altman discussed the ongoing compute and memory shortages, including the growing interest in running open-source AI models locally rather than relying on cloud infrastructure. According […]
