A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized processor that, unlike a CPU, performs thousands of calculations in parallel. Originally developed for graphics, GPUs are now the workhorses of AI: training large models would be practically impossible without them. Companies like NVIDIA dominate the market for AI GPUs; their availability is a bottleneck factor for AI development.
In short
Why are GPUs important for AI?
GPUs perform thousands of calculations in parallel and are therefore essential for training large AI models. Originally developed for graphics, companies like NVIDIA dominate the market for AI GPUs. Their availability is a bottleneck factor for AI development.
