Microsoft has just said that they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a chat GPT supercomputer.

0:07.0

This is super interesting and we're going to break down what exactly this means and why they would have done that.

0:13.0

So flashback to 2017, Microsoft invests a billion dollars into Open AI.

0:19.0

And that's actually a pretty significant amount of money when

0:22.4

you look at a lot of other startups that have been going around. A billion dollars is massive.

0:26.4

And what's even crazier is just this year they dwarfed that by investing $10 billion into

0:31.8

open AI. Now, obviously, these are some pretty massive numbers and the $10 million makes the $1 billion,

where they kind of outline exactly how they created Azure's,

1:20.1

which is their cloud computing thing,

1:24.0

how they created Azure's powerful artificial intelligence infrastructure,

1:27.2

which is currently used by

1:28.3

Open AI. And they also talked about how its systems are getting even more robust in the future.

1:33.6

This is a very big deal. And to me, I actually think this is pretty important to know because

I recently heard from an ex-employee who just left AWS, Amazon's cloud platform, and they said
