Really? What exactly is Dell's IP for AI?

@2ckj+1veBLu1Q that there is funny!
Dell claiming any sort of credit for AI is a bit like the guy who sold the paint to Michealangelo and claiming credit for the roof of the Sistine Chapel.

all Dell has is a shiny server that it dictated by NVIDIA then shared with AMD/INTEL! There is no IP, all OEMs have the same options, Dell has a slightly better track record with reliability but very small, the software is all vaporware
if we accept that AI is an amalgam of specialized hardware and software for training and learning LLMs, then Dell is benefits because of our hardware, but a player
Dell is actually considered reliable server
Where do you think these AI server farms get their servers and infrastructure and storage from?
Computers are tools. All tools are not the same. A company that makes scalpels isn't an expert at doing surgeries, but you can't do surgery without one. AI (and all applications) needs compute, and it won't always be massive scale cloud compute. It isn't brain surgery but it isn't nothing either. Just because Dell leadership are cr-p, making bad decisions, I don't think it is valid to just minimize everything that Dell (and other computer companies) do.
Stick a graphics card in a server, that's the IP
The 'Shiney Object' for 2025!
or you can just buy the cliff notes
Dell has no AI. Period.
But AI PCs are definitely going to be game changers eveeentually. This is just the first generation. We need alternatives to nvidia that are power and battery efficient. Smaller models that Microsoft has been super invested in since the beginning are getting better and better. They can run on an NPU that’s a tiny gpu or even on cpu though slower. They won’t work too well for advanced math and reasoning and may have a whole internet’s worth of trivia knowledge. But they have as much as 128k context. That means you can give it a 700 page novel and get the cliff notes.
Main stream Ai they are selling is a joke. I would love someone to explain how all these so called Ai pics dell are selling are of any benefit than regular pcs where all customers have access to chat gpt and other tools. Maybe there is some GEUNINE aspects but I , my colleagues and general public just see it a marketing fluff . I SEE NO GEUNINE IP HERE but open to someone educating us cause all I can here on dell side is fluffy fluffy gobbledygook.
