Comment on The Growing Compute Shortageparent

Comments

from the beginning of 2026 claimed global AI compute capacity was doubling every 7 months.

That's definitely one way to say "it doubled this year"

I read it as "was posted earlier this year. It claimed that compute has been doubling every seven months for quite some time, on average"

No, it was "<linked article> from the beginning of 2026 claimed <x>." Also, if you open the article, you'll see the data goes back multiple years, but does not cover 2026 (as it was posted at the beginning of 2026).
