Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-09 17:27:28

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

Intel CEO Responds to Trump’s Threat

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-09 17:35:40

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan has responded to President Donald Trump’s call for his resignation over alleged conflicts of interest. In a memo sent to staff on Thursday, Tan said those concerns are based on “misinformation.” Tan joined the struggling chipmaker back in March. He was in the middle of trying to get the company back on track when he found himself in Trump’s crosshairs. “The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem,” Trump wr

A Bug at Social Security Admin Has Been Rerouting Phone Calls to Random Offices

A technical issue at the Social Security Administration recently caused phone calls to various field offices to be routed to other offices that didn’t have jurisdiction over the claims, thus making service fulfillment difficult. On Tuesday, NPR reported that the agency’s field offices were having difficulties connecting callers to the proper staff who could fulfill their requests. “If it’s someone else’s office, the jurisdiction is someone else’s,” Angela Digeronimo, a SS claims specialist in W

New Gel Could Heal Stubborn Diabetic Wounds in Under 2 Weeks

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-12-09 17:55:22

For people with diabetes, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to chronic wounds that stay open for months. But a new gel-based treatment could massively speed up the healing process for people with diabetes, allowing wounds to close in just days, according to a new study. The new treatment targets thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a protein that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels, a crucial step in the healing process.

A toy company has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against a popular TikTok and Instagram account called "Sylvanian Drama." Epoch Company Ltd., is the US maker of adorable fuzzy dolls called Calico Critters. Those dolls are known as "Sylvanian Families" in other markets, and more recently, they became a viral sensation after an Ireland-based content creator, Thea Von Engelbrechten, started making funny videos in which the dolls acted out dark, cringey adult storylines.

A decade later, Windows is still bringing Control Panel features to the Settings app

theverge.com Sean Hollister 2025-12-09 22:31:20

Microsoft has tried to dumb down its Control Panel with a simple UI over the years, rather than a list of options, but there’s still a number of settings that don’t exist in the new PC Settings app. “Why do I have to go the PC settings to forget a network and Control panel to change IP settings? Can’t this all be done from a single place?” It’s a fair criticism, and one that Microsoft should look to address with Windows 10.

You can apparently buy Google’s official Pixel Tablet stylus that never launched

TL;DR Last year, Google canceled its plans for the Pixel Tablet 2, leaving the fate of the company’s Pixel stylus unclear. This summer, that stylus has started popping up at online retailers, now branded as the Pixel Tablet Pen. The pen works fine with the existing Pixel Tablet, but not all its features appear fully implemented. Google’s approach right now towards Android on screens larger than our phones is confusing, to put it mildly. On one hand, we’ve got Android’s increasingly impressive

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing.

OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war

OpenAI astounded the tech industry for the second time this week by launching its newest flagship model, GPT-5, just days after releasing two new freely available models under an open source license. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on o
