Google's Cloud C4 instances have been optimized for running the open-source version of GPT, a large language model. According to Intel and Hugging Face, this optimization results in a 70% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to previous versions. This is made possible by using Intel Xeon processors, which provide better performance per dollar. --- Why it matters: Engineers working with large language models will be interested in this development because it makes such models more accessible and affordable for their projects. The improved TCO means that researchers can focus on developing new applications rather than worrying about the cost of running their models. Source: https://huggingface.co/blog/gpt-oss-on-intel-xeon
