This is the best summary I could come up with:


Facebook supremo Mark Zuckerberg is redirecting Meta-wide efforts to build artificial general intelligence and wants to secure a whopping 350,000 or more Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of the year to make that happen.

This comes as OpenAI reportedly signaled it wants to raise billions of dollars in funding to build a network of chip fabs to supply enough AI accelerators to meet its needs.

Zuck's boffins are right now training Llama 3, their latest content-generating large language model, and plan on releasing it openly, the billionaire confirmed Thursday via Instagram.

Zuckerberg is the latest CEO to throw his hat in the ring in the race to build AGI, a theoretical technology that can outperform humans in many cognitive tasks.

Training increasingly powerful models needed for AGI to become more than a pipe dream requires huge amounts of accelerators, and Zuckerberg said Meta intends to amass 350,000 H100s for the task.

Instead, he opined AGI will help build and fill out the project's interconnected worlds of 3D virtual reality, as the corporation has previously indicated when asked whether the CEO has given up on it in favor of artificial intelligence.
