One of Xu Lin's purposes for going abroad this time is to buy high-performance GPUs.
For this kind of GPU, the first choice is NVIDIA H100.
Moreover, Xu Lin needs it for large-scale models, which is why he needs to go abroad.
Because he wants to buy in bulk, foreign countries have restrictions on the export of such GPUs to domestic, you can only buy the next tier H800.
But if Xu Lin is abroad, he can find connections to directly get H100.
The performance goes full throttle.
Xu Lin checked and found that this type of H100 GPU is subject to export restrictions, personal purchase is not easy.
You need to register a company or use some research institution's name, and then rely on specific qualifications to purchase.
It's quite troublesome.
Xu Lin pondered that if he went directly to ask, it would be very troublesome.
It's best if there's a connection.
Abroad, he only knows Tilin for now.
So after dinner, Xu Lin made a call to Tilin.
