That would make a lot more sense, for sure. It would also explain the 25M USD number from Hassabis. That would be a lot of money to spend on "only" 64 GPUs, or 4 TPU (which are supposed to be ~1 GPU). There's no explanation where the number came from, but it seems that he did similar math as in the original post here. -- GCP _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
