GROQ Manager: Artificial Intelligence Technology progresses faster than data centers in Asia

GROQ has announced that the Asian continent faces serious challenges to keep up with the accelerated process of artificial intelligence. One of the company’s senior executives said the Asian region is suffering from a severe shortage of computing and infrastructure. Ian Andrews’ statements are made in the heat of the explosive growth of artificial intelligence worldwide.

Ian Andrew from the Groq Startup, saying that while the world is rapidly trying to spread artificial intelligence, Asia is struggling with a very tangible problem, which is inadequate data centers and infrastructure. Andrews at the Singapore ATXSUMMIT Technology Conference stated that there is a huge challenge in achieving the company’s goals in Asia. “This is a big problem to deal with,” he said.

While most artificial intelligence companies focus on the training of large language models, Groq bets on the velocity and makes its own dedicated chips to run the models faster. This risk is based on the hypothesis that by improving artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence reasoning will require more computational power than training. Andrews pointed out that the Asian region is currently facing bottlenecks of infrastructure such as data centers and electricity, adding that the situation would most likely become worse as artificial intelligence in the region will be expanded. “Remember, we are still in the early stages of artificial intelligence,” he said.

Andrews also predicted that all apps may be directed by artificial intelligence over the next five years. “There is no model in which we have sufficient capacity to give centers, enough electricity and infrastructure to execute all of this in the area,” he added. According to Andrews, the progress of models is more solvable than infrastructure challenges.

Andrews’ remarks come as artificial intelligence giants such as Openai deepen their presence in Asia, and regional governments are also increasing infrastructure costs to support the technology. Openai announced on Monday that it will soon launch an office in South Korea, its third office in Asia. Jason Kown said the company’s chief strategy chief said that the growth of the ChatGPT users in South Korea has been unprecedented. He added that South Korea has the highest number of ChatGPT subscribers outside the United States. In November, Taiwan‘s Minister of Science and Technology announced that the government would spend $ 5 billion in three years to increase artificial intelligence data centers and their computational capability. Meanwhile, large technology companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in global infrastructure to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence.

To understand the speed of artificial intelligence evolution, Andrews referred to ChatGpt. “It was only about six months ago that ChatGpt was launched,” Andrew said. “If you look at what you can do with ChatGpt at that time, it was a toy.” Andrews pointed to the acceleration of artificial intelligence capabilities. “Only in the first quarter, more advanced models have been launched than the whole year,” he said. “These models will move faster than we expect.”
