Ask HN: Can you crowdfund the compute for GPT?
I&#x27;m just curious to know whether it&#x27;s possible to crowdfund the compute costs for GPT models? It seems like this stuff is going to start to get beyond what any one individual can run, meaning it&#x27;s in the hands of corporations or people with deep pockets. Can groups of people pool together money to run shared models? Because the alternative is that the companies just run away with the technology and leave the rest of us to wait for APIs or use whatever they give us.
