A side note about the ever increasing costs to advance the models. I feel certain that some branch of what may be connected to the NSA is running and advancing models that probably exceed what the open market provides today.

Maybe they are running it on proprietary or semi proprietary hardware but if they dont, how much does the market no where various shipments of NVIDEA processors ends up?

I imagine most intelligence agencies are in need of vast quantities.

I presume is M$ announces new availability of AI compute it means they have received and put into production X Nvidiam, which might make it possible to guesstimate within some bounds how many.

Same with other open market compute facilities.

Is it likely that a significant share of NVIDEA processors are going to government / intelligent / fronts?
