AI / DL: PC GPU box vs cloud AWS, Azure

Which GPU(s) to Get for Deep Learning


The $1700 great Deep Learning box: Assembly, setup and benchmarks

"...Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offered P2 instances with Nvidia K80 GPUs. Lately, the AWS bills were around $60–70/month with a tendency to get larger. Also, it is expensive to store large datasets, like ImageNet.

...

Nvidia’s cards: GTX 1070 ($360?), GTX 1080 ($500), GTX 1080 Ti ($700) and finally the Titan X ($1320)."

Amazon EC2 - P2 Instances
"P2 instances provide up to 16 NVIDIA K80 GPUs, 64 vCPUs and 732 GiB of host memory, with a combined 192 GB of GPU memory, 40 thousand parallel processing cores, 70 teraflops of single precision floating point performance, and over 23 teraflops of double precision floating point performance."
from p2.xlarge: 1 GPU, 4 vCPU, 61 GiB RAM, $0.9 / hour (= $648/month)
($0.425/h on 3 year commitment = $306/month = $11 K / 3 years)

Google Released MobileNets: Efficient Pre-Trained Tensorflow Computer Vision Models

"Google released several efficient pre-trained computer vision models for mobile phones in the Tensorflow Github repository. Developers can choose from several models that differ in the amount of parameters, computations for processing one image, and accuracy. The smallest model has 14 million "multiply and add operations" (MACs). Their largest model has 569 MACs. The more computations a model has to perform to predict the class of an image, the more battery power the phone uses.

Processing images on the smartphone itself is faster than uploading images to an online processing service. Is also means that no data has to leave the smartphone, ensuring the privacy of the user. The models are open source, developers can either download them directly or tweak them to meet their specific needs."

AI future prediction

Here is a confident prediction from a professional technology futurist:

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Intelligence, not just Our Processes? - Daniel Burrus

"So here is a prediction for you: During the next five years, we will have the technologies to transform every business process including how we sell, market, communicate, collaborate, train, educate, design, pay for things and much more. That is what I call a Hard Trend that will happen because it is based on future facts—the tools are real and they will be used to both disrupt and transform."

AI startup studio: All Turtles

A new startup incubator by co-founder and CEO of Evernote Phil Libin
"Product first, not company first". Interesting approach.
The "Turtles" is a metaphor on "recursive definition", "turtles all the way down"

All Turtles
"All Turtles is a better way to build early-stage companies.
We work with founders to get from idea to pilot to product."

The focus is mostly on AI "bots"

Meet the first 8 startups backed by AI studio All Turtles | VentureBeat | Bots | by Khari Johnson
“We’re inspired by the modern generation of integrated content studios: HBO, Netflix, Amazon,” said Libin in a LinkedIn post Monday. “They can swing for the fences with every new show because the feedback loops are tighter, making the process more repeatable. They attract the most talented creators by letting them focus on making the best content with as little distraction as possible. We want to do the same for product creators. Focus on making the product, and we’ll help with everything else: AI expertise, design, data, HR, marketing, IP, analytics, distribution.”

Oracle: "Bare Metal Cloud Services"

"Late to cloud game", Oracle has interesting "spin" to it:

GraphQL vs REST API

GraphQL vs REST: Things to Consider @ InfoQ

REST API downfalls, and dawn of GraphQL – Otto von Wachter – Medium
"The basic premise of both GraphQL and Falcor is that the server exposes a comprehensive data schema to the client, and the client decides exactly what it needs. Unlike with discrete REST endpoints, all the data for any given UI (page) can be sent in one trip to the client.
Ultimately, GraphQL is the more flexible and complete solution of the two, while Falcor provides 
out-of-the-box simplicity and is GraphQL-like."

GitHub GraphQL API is Out of Early Access @ InfoQ

"Announced at GitHub Universe last year, GitHub GraphQL API aims to add more flexibility to GitHub API. The main advantage of GraphQL is its ability to define exactly what data are required, which makes it possible to replace multiple REST request with a single call. Additionally, GraphQL schemas are strongly typed and introspective."

Their machine learning API, called Core ML, allows developers to integrate machine learning models into apps running on Apple devices with iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Models reside on the device itself, so data never leaves the device."

"Supported machine learning tools are Keras (with Tensorflow backend), Caffe, Scikit-learn, libsvm and XGBoost. It is not possible to import an existing Tensorflow model into Core ML, which would be possible with Tensorflow Lite on Android."

"A graph’s structure is the topology formed by the explicit references between its vertices, edges, and properties. A vertex has incident edges. A vertex is adjacent to another vertex if they share an incident edge. A property is attached to an element and an element has a set of properties. A property is a key/value pair, where the key is always a character String. The graph structure API of TinkerPop3 provides the methods necessary to create such a structure. The TinkerPop graph previously diagrammed can be created with the following Java 8 code. Note that this graph is available as an in-memory TinkerGraph using TinkerFactory.createClassic()."
