MICROSOFT STRUNG TOGETHER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHIPS IN A PRICEY SUPERCOMPUTER FOR OPENAI

Microsoft's billion-dollar investment in OpenAI in 2019 was accompanied by a commitment to construct a cutting-edge supercomputer for the AI research start-up. To create the new technology, Microsoft had to find ways to combine tens of thousands of Nvidia's A100 graphics chips and reposition server racks to avoid power outages.
