gollark: I mean things like semantic search and text generation in my eternally-WIP personal wiki software.(Which isn't researchy, has to work for more than a month, and should not have data be sent to random Google servers)
gollark: I'm interested in deploying MLish things for various "production" things which don't really come under research, and so that doesn't really work.
gollark: You can only rent them, and they're hilariously expensive.
gollark: Oh, and the next Intel CPUs should actually be very good, as they're adding 8 smaller low-power cores which are nevertheless apparently around Skylake performance to basically everything.
gollark: They are also making datacenter cards, which were delayed because lol no working 7nm.
