GPU Gold Mine

You are sitting on a gold mine, and it's not just about crypto.
Forget the energy-guzzling image of crypto mining. Vector processors can be used to mine real, tangible assets that boost your bottom line.
Think about it: how often does your company repeat the same questions? Instead of firing up your expensive LLMs every time, save those responses in a database. A quick search on a cheap SSD or even a magnetic disk can deliver the answer, freeing up your precious GPUs and saving you money.
Generative AI can also create digital twins – virtual models of real-world objects. Imagine testing and optimizing engines, chemicals, or medicines without ever building a physical prototype. Apple's rumored expansion of product lines hints at the possibilities generative AI unlocks.
Even simpler applications can yield big results. Instead of maintaining a costly GPU datacenter, especially during off-peak hours, rent some hardware and generate solutions for 99.9% of potential use cases and support problems. These can then be used as runbooks for your support staff.
With SSDs becoming larger and cheaper thanks to technologies like HBM and 3D chip stacking, you can answer most questions with a simple SSD query using the same embeddings as your LLM. Generate your own encyclopedia, or tech magazine with all the articles you will write until 2040.
But there's more. Mining statistical data from your machines can uncover hidden trends and correlations, helping you solve complex problems in areas like rare diseases, psychosomatic illnesses, trade, and supply chain discrepancies. Just be mindful of employee privacy.
Idle GPUs can also simulate and replay past events, potentially revealing better solutions. Timing and ordering issues can impact not just software code, but also business processes.
Finally, consider generating potential UI screens. As our example shows, even a home GPU can generate all the possible screens for an ERP system, paving the way for a company-wide upgrade for the 2030s. Future UI based operating systems will generate their widgets using multi-modal language models on the fly.
You will probably be able to mine movie scenes in a couple of years for reselling.
