Ex-Google Training Lead Rohan Anil Writes on Training Across Compute Islands, Even in Space
ruthstarkman · x · 2026-11-03
Rohan Anil, who developed training algorithms used for various frontier models, shares a write-up on the problem he pursued at CoreAuto: training across distributed 'compute islands,' extending eventually to training in space, with a link to the full article.
Ruth Starkman raises a follow-up question: does distributed training actually make frontier AI more accessible, or does it simply introduce new costs and dependencies?
