Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds.
Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc.
What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low?
Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.
