Brannin McBee (Core Weave) on moving from GPU mining to specialized compute (EP.258)

Core Weave (https://www.coreweave.com/) cofounder and CSO Brannin McBee (  / branninmcbee  ) joins the show to talk GPU mining and high performance computation. In this episode: • Details on the Core Weave's latest fundraise • Core Weave's hybrid data center model which combines Ethereum mining and generalized computation • Transitioning from just crypto mining to the specialized compute market • Why the hyperscale cloud providers aren't always suitable for firms with specialized computation needs • The nature and size of Core Weave's GPU and CPU fleet • How Core Weave services clients in VFX and rendering, machine learning, and blockchain • Why Core Weave was able to build a generalizable computational fleet • Why the demand for VFX/rendering-based compute is accelerating • How film studios are going from capital intensive on-prem computation to outsourcing it to cloud providers • How Core Weave is able to achieve a high utilization rate for their GPUs • How Core Weave is working on open sourcing GPT-3 • Why you can't access scale compute at conventional providers • How Core Weave is managing Ethereum's transition to Proof of Stake • When Brannin expects the final merge to occur • How the market for GPU mining will change over time • How NFTs are a new source of demand for large-scale compute • Core Weave's attitude to Ethereum development • Did Ethereum move away from some of its original principles? • How proof of work was a strong distributive force during the early days of Ethereum • Are miners less positively inclined towards the network now that their business model has an expiration date? • Brannin's attitude towards MEV today • Brannin's thoughts on Ethereum's security model as it moves towards PoS • Does the abundance of capital make PoS more vulnerable than PoW? • Why diseconomies of scale for electricity procurement protected PoW networks • Why rendering PoW 'synthetic' in PoS makes it easier to pull off an attack • How Core Weave pursues sustainability in their operations Sponsor notes: • This episode supported by Public.com (https://public.com/onthebrink) .
