How would Microsoft benefit from this? I thought they were mainly in the LLM and user information hoarding business.
Ecosystem growth, sales of Azure AI compute power
This is all local though, thus encouraging everyone to get their own GPU. Wouldn't that work against the goal of getting more people on their cloud services?
I haven't looked into DLSS 5 but previous versions required lots of compute to train a model for each specific title, additionally Microsoft and Nvidia may have certain agreements to further the adoption of AI processors that could be used for data harvesting features like Microsoft recall
Nvidia is a company that sells chips
Microsoft is a company better on the future of software running on those chips
It's a big conflict of interest
