Data Scientist [NLP]

Let’s start with some numbers:

• H100 SXM: 504 (SuperPod)
• H100 PCI: 128
• A100 SMX: 120
• CPU: 600K cores
• SSD: 350pb 
• HDD:33pb 

That is a lot of computing power, so why do we need it? 

We’re building Yep, a search engine and LLM from the ground up. To do that at the highest possible level we’ve invested in all this hardware to the extent where our superpod alone reaches 20 PFlops in linpack, placing 30th among the supercomputers of the world… Yep, we mean business! 

Let’s put that compute power to use!
