Interest in virtual private networks (VPNs) has surged in America and Europe this year. Countries on both sides of the Atlantic have recently enacted new age-verification laws designed to prevent users from accessing certain websites unless they first confirm their legal identity. Using a VPN can bypass these age checks by making a website think you are in a country that doesn’t require ID verification.

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.
