Don't miss insight from our VALDI team on recent news about DeepSeek. The latest developments fuel our optimism about the future of AI innovation and big opportunities for teams that leverage game-changing events to advance the state of the art for the entire ecosystem. #DeepSeek #AInews #AI #DePIN #DistributedGPUs #AIinnovation #DistributedCloud #CloudInnovation
An open-source model, trained at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches, that rivals expensive LLMs?! DeepSeek’s R1 is exciting. A reminder of why we do what we do: ensure that every AI team, from startups to enterprises, can access the most powerful GPUs without compromise. Breakthroughs like R1 change the game and make us all more ambitious 🚀 VALDI's Karl Mozurkewich shares 3 insights on DeepSeek: 💡 We’re still compute-constrained, even with R1. DeepSeek’s success lies in how it optimized training, particularly through reinforcement learning, that improves the use of available compute to do more with less. They don’t eliminate the need for powerful, modern GPUs, but they raise the bar. With breakthroughs like this, teams want access to the best hardware, to iterate and push beyond R1’s limitations. 💡 Leveling the playing field isn’t a single event—it’s ongoing work. DeepSeek’s open-source release is a gift to smaller teams and startups. It provides a huge head start, offering a performant model and training weights out of the gate. But let’s be clear: access to innovation isn’t the same as access to infrastructure. Startups still need flexible, scalable, cost-effective compute solutions to build on breakthroughs like R1. That’s our mission at Valdi — making it easy for these teams to rent exactly what they need, when they need it, and scale without committing to massive capital outlays. 💡 The cost of AI is dropping—but innovation keeps raising the stakes. Satya Nadella recently said AI is becoming cheaper to use. He’s right, when it comes to existing features. What DeepSeek proves is that lower costs unlock new opportunities, which in turn demand more compute. Sure, the cost per feature dropped, but the race to develop advanced capabilities—like reasoning or AGI—requires even more sophisticated infrastructure. This cycle of innovation is what makes on-demand GPU solutions so essential. Renting GPUs provides the economic flexibility to move fast, experiment, and focus on breakthroughs, not logistics.

The Storj & VALDI team continues to work on fueling innovation at the forefront of AI with on-demand, distributed GPUs. 💡 Check out insights on recent DeepSeek news from Karl Mozurkewich here. One key take-away - experts affirm that you don't need a multi-billion dollar budget to compete effectively in AI 🚀 Mark Harvilla Dean Archibald Emily Gay John Gleeson Jacqueline Lucas Anna Reardon Trisha Winter
DeepSeek was trained on 256 H800s over a few months. They used a novel approach, GPRO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) that measures a group of outputs instead of individual outputs, to score how well activations are working. Think of it like this: instead of going to a Doctor for an opinion, you ask a group of expert Doctors, then compare their diagnoses. In the AI engineering community we've looked at Deepseek since it's release late December. The first thing we noticed was how good it was for being so small,(Rivals o1 from OpenAI) but the real coup is the benefit GPRO provided in quality on a small cluster. We always look for real software innovation to move the industry forward. DeepSeek is a great example of incremental progress. Jevons paradox - which says increased efficiency drives more consumption - is fully at work here.

Media and entertainment workflows are increasingly global. Global production fosters innovation and creativity, but also introduces new operational challenges. Not all clouds are built for the demands of today’s M&E enterprises, especially as workflows grow more distributed, complex, and resource-intensive. Read on to learn how Storj in partnership with innovators like Hammerspace and Ortana Media Group delivers fantastic solutions for hybrid workflows. https://hubs.li/Q031x8rG0 #distributedcloud #DePIN #blog #hybridcloud #cloudinnovation #mediaandentertainment

Here at Ad Signal, we are all about sustainability. With data centres currently contributing 3.7% of global CO2 emissions and set to rise to 14% by 2040, One of our products, Match, tackles this issue head-on by reducing the carbon footprint tied to video content, which alone accounts for 1.84% of global emissions. If widely adopted, our products could reduce this figure to just 0.5%, making a significant impact on global sustainability targets. Watch our CEO, Tom Dunning, tackle issues in sustainability in this MTSS panel held at the IBC 2024. Panel starts at 29:04. https://lnkd.in/emEA_Yqw
