What an utter bullshit take. As if the ATI could ever be competitive at LLMs given the resource requirements needed to train foundational models. If we want UK universities to continue to make contributions in this sphere we either need to massively reduce the cost of training SOTA LLMs, create some national shared GPU infrastructure, or resource universities to access cloud infra. Unfortunately the latter is just introducing further dependencies on overseas (and increasingly problematic) private clouds. If things continue as they are then having the capability to train SOTA models will be a strategic imperative for every nation.
