Intel AI open-sources library for deep learning-driven NLP
A while ago there was an article about creating a "wasteland" of unprofittability <i></i>around<i></i> your core business so to become the monopolist and extract the highest margin out of the industry.<p>The position of Intel/Nvidia is then quite simple, they will open source any model, dataset, toolkit, library, etc that makes use of their hardware. Training new AI will become simpler and simpler and they will extract high margin from selling the hardware.<p>What about Google instead? They have the data and the engineering knowledge to make complex AI works, however it seems quite unlikely that they will be able to drive the price of AI hardware down. Moreover they are charging quite a lot for the use of their custom TPU.<p>From this analysis it seems like Google is bound to fail in the long term in the AI race.<p>Am I wrong? Why?
