azeem.bsky.social @azeem.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Tonight's launch of Grok 3 will be a major test of AI scaling laws. Built on the Colossus supercomputer with 100k Nvidia H100s, probably 10 times more compute than GPT4. If scaling laws hold, s Grok 3 should be substantially smarter--or is the era of predictable scaling coming to an end? #ai 462
