“You’re so smart” leaves room for failure when they encounter something that challenges their image of being smart. Praising the amount of effort they put in is not something that is taken away or challenged regardless of the outcome.
I'd like to know if GCP is covering part of the bill? Or will Cornell be paying all of it? The new architecture smells of "[GCP] will pay/credit all of these new services if you agree to let one of our architects work with you". If GCP is helping, stay tuned for a blog post from google some time around the completion of the migration with a title like "Reaffirming our commitment to science" or something similarly self affirming.
I also believe that the 200$ subscription they offer is just them allowing the TTC to go for longer before forcing it to answer.
If what you say is true, though, I agree that there is a huge headroom for TTC to improve results if the huggingface experiments on 1/3B models are anything to go off.
There are massive numbers of data centre GPUs sitting in hyperscaler warehouses waiting to be deployed in a data centre. They may never be deployed because there’s more GPU than DC space and you want your most efficient GPUs in the active slots.
