What kind of hardware does ChatGPT run on?

I assume lots of high end Nvidia cards like A100. Time to buy NVidia stock...

ChatGPT response for the reference:

"As an AI language model, I am a software program that runs on computer servers hosted in data centers. The specific hardware configuration of these servers may vary depending on the cloud computing provider that hosts me and the specific instance type that I'm running on. However, in general, the hardware used to power AI language models like me typically includes high-performance CPUs or GPUs (graphics processing units) and large amounts of memory and storage. This allows me to process and analyze large amounts of text data and generate natural language responses in real-time."

Inference? Yeah, it will probably only fit on Nvidia A100s.

There are some other really cool accelerators out there that could theoretically run GPT, like the Cerebras WSE2, Intel Gaudi 2, or Google TPUs, but Nvidia is so ubiquitious that its pretty much all anyone uses.
