Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, an AI coding assistant, is becoming a key player in the tech giant's strategy to leverage artificial intelligence to drive revenue for its Azure cloud services. The success of GitHub Copilot is not only contributing to Microsoft's competitive edge against Amazon Web Services (AWS), but it is also intensifying the competition in the cloud sector, with other providers like AWS and Google reportedly working on supporting competitors such as GitLab. The rapid advancements in AI, with models evolving from millions to trillions of parameters and a significant increase in computational power, underscore the growing importance of AI in the cloud computing landscape.
In just a few years, cutting-edge models have gone from using millions of parameters to trillions. The amount of computation used to train the largest AI models has increased by nine orders of magnitude. Here's what we should do next: https://t.co/7kvjdT6bkg
