Any good sources for learning about advances in compute power?


With all this news about ChatGPT going on in HN, I've realised we never really see any news on the advances of compute power, which seems to be the other side of AI (arguably, more important than the models themselves from a long-term point of view)

Does anyone have any recommendations of sources for learning about the latest advances?

In 2023, it will be both a physical conference at Stanford, and a virtual conference. See: https://hotchips.org/. All conference presentations and videos are released to everyone in December. Last year's (2022) conference is at https://hc34.hotchips.org/
