      The article says “to run AI models” so it probably means both inference and training, not just inference.

            Training has a lot of extra functionality like calculating how to update the weights of the model during training to make it more performant on the dataset(backpropagation and gradient descent) and much more

            Meanwhile inference is mostly running the weights of the model as they are. The model isn’t being adjusted in any way. And Nvidia holds a strong grip on training libraries through Cuda

              They can be used for training…

              That’s all software, I don’t think anyone is doing back prop in hardware. Your are right about cuda, but z.ai just demonstrated that moat is evaporating quick
