"Follow your dreams." they said. " You can be anything you want. Your every waking moment could be like the first time you ever stepped foot into a barcade."
And we believed them. And what are our lives for having listened? Ash and dust. -
snap (snappler@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 30-Jan-2025 01:46:42 JST snap @RustyCrab @Inginsub @IAMAL_PHARIUS tl;dr: Deepseek use few GPUs, everyone cancel Nvidia order for many GPUs (speculators think).
VRAM modules themselves are fairly cheap, though there's definitely work involved in making sure your PCB layouts and scheduling and so on make effective use of them.

That said, there's no reason high-VRAM needs to mean high board cost. It's not a particularly power hungry or low-yield part and GDDR5 is more than fast enough for training and inference at present.
NVidia was just been raking in insane amounts of money on insane data center orders while gen-over-gen bumping the prices of the consumer cards that USED to be the backbone of their business so they could reserve the silicon for datacenter stuff. So now, people are on very slow GPU upgrade cycles on the PC side with the 50 series underperforming in early reviews at the same time as it turns out you DON'T need to match Meta or X or OpenAI's massive fleets of H100s (which is what the clueless megacorps were insisting you needed). You can actually do it on a tiny fraction of the compute if you're just not retarded.
There's going to be a lot of bad actor information trying to make it sound like DeepSeek cheated somehow, but they didn't They'll try to claim they "distilled" OAI's models, but they used them for synthetic datasets at most. Everyone does that even if it's against TOS. Google is using Anthropics models to make synthetic datasets for Gemini. It's all over.
Anyway, Nvidia tanked because the speculators are not convinced everyone is cancelling their $100M orders for more H100s and Hopper stuff and so there's not going to be an infinite money printer in Jensen's oven anymore.
Also, here's a related way-too-long post I made replying to another thing about DeepSeek:

I have seen the leaked Gura sex tape and I didn't enjoy that so much. And 2025 is the year of Linux on the desktop. And I think we should all name our favorite Nijisanji personality. I don't know any, but I'm sure I'd like one of them. -
snap (snappler@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 19-Jan-2025 14:38:50 JST snap @dotnet @hancoktom41 @Hoss @Wiz @bronze I'm also outraged about Wiz, who apparently is rich, for some reason (I didn't read the thread and don't know what's happening). I think he should buy us all Shondo marketable plushies and dakimakuras as a form of restitution for whatever is happening. -

snap (snappler@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 24-Nov-2024 15:16:18 JST snap @skylar @YeetLibs I appreciate how low her consideration time on saying utterly out of pocket shit has gotten. She will just launch into a child abuse story, while laughing, in mixed company without hesitating now and I like that sort of character growth. -
