DeepMind looks at distributed training of large AI models
Briefly

The release of DeepSeek by DeepMind has triggered a re-evaluation in the tech industry regarding the approach to AI model training. While its performance claims against giants like OpenAI and Meta have led to skepticism, researchers suggest that exploring distributed training can offer a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to current practices. DeepMind's new methodology aims to distribute training across various computers, potentially reducing the need for costly datacenters filled with expensive GPU accelerators, all while maintaining model quality.
The release of DeepSeek has prompted a reassessment in the AI industry regarding alternative model training strategies, sparking discussions around distributed training efficiency.
DeepMind's recent research outlines a new approach to distributed model training, making it possible to train large models across clusters of computers with reduced overhead.
