The ratio of compute (per FLOP) used for the flagship language models of the 10 leading companies/organizations at market close.
Epistemic standards: company/lab announcements, consensus reporting
(Hopefully) forward-compatible definitions:
GPU: a general-purpose CPU specialized to handle embarassingly parallel workload tasks
FPGA: an ASIC that implements logic gates through a reprogrammable medium (currently, LUTs and routing fabric), meaning the logic can be cost-effectively modified after finishing manufacturing, at a price at least one OOM less than manufacturing a new one.
ASIC (excluding FPGAs): a non-reprogrammable IC that directly implements logic that would normally be handled at the programming-language layer in a CPU directly in the digital logic.
