Optimizing AI Inference at Character.AI
blog.character.ai
At Character.AI, we're building toward AGI. In that future state, large language models (LLMs) will enhance daily life, providing business productivity and entertainment and helping people with everything from education to coaching, support, brainstorming, creative writing and more. To make that a reality globally, it's critical to achieve highly

I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don't use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship.

    That's an extremely weird point of comparison. You do one or two google searches per google search, and dozens of messages in a chat session. Probably hundreds for the poor saps this is preying on.

    Whatsapp has 140 billion messages per day.

      That's a good point, it was their comparison shrug-outta-hecks Wouldn't be a tech company without hyping yourself up as much as possible.

      That is a much better comparison though. 1% of Whatsapp still sounds like a ton of users/messsages.

      yes, until you realize that 1 GPT query consumes 1567% (15x) the amount of energy of a single google search result..
