So it sounds like they need a shitload of GPU power. You know what also costs a shitload of GPU power crypto mining? Could they not outsource the work to all those GPUs that stopped mining crypto once it plummeted?
I am surprised this hasn't become a community project already. I assume there is some limitation that I am unaware of.
The limitation is intellectual property. You need to model to train it, and no for-profit company is going to just give that away.
But they (MS) are planning on doing it either way, why not crowdsource and even pay a small pittance for the GPU power? I think it would be popular... there are a lot of sad people with extra GPUs sitting around not being used for much.
