Part 2/8:
In a recent discussion with Roberto Penes Pinelli, a physicist and machine learning expert from Stanford, the topic of AI server overload was explored. Pinelli explained that the launch of the image generator has brought to light a crucial lesson about the processing capabilities required for such advanced AI systems.
The new model excels in generating images with better quality and varied artistic styles, transcending the limitations of previous models. Users have been delighted to create images in different styles, including those resembling popular animations. However, the unexpected spike in demand overwhelmed OpenAI’s GPU servers, leading to a temporary shutdown, which Pinelli playfully referred to as the servers "melting."
