According to a report by Xinzhiyuan on January 13, AMD's software and hardware systems can also train GPT-3.5 level large models. Frontier, the world's largest supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is home to 37,888 MI250X GPUs and 9,472 Epyc7A53CPUs. Recently, researchers trained a GPT-3.5-scale model using only about 8% of those GPUs. The researchers successfully used the ROCM software platform to successfully break through many difficulties of distributed training models on AMD hardware, and established the most advanced distributed training algorithm and framework for large models on AMD hardware using the ROCM platform. Successfully provides a feasible technical framework for efficient training of LLMs on non-NVIDIA and non-CUDA platforms. After the training, the researchers summarized the experience of training large models on Frontier into a paper detailing the challenges encountered and overcome.

The Lastic team announced the first Coretime broker deal (a transaction between buyers and sellers coordinated and facilitated by an intermediary or broker) on the Kusama network. On November 9, 2023, Lastic won the parachain slot by defeating Shiden (Astar) and Turing Network (OAK Network) in a parachain auction on the Kusama network. Over the past week, after negotiations between Lastic and Shiden, Lastic agreed to sell these leases to Shiden in exchange for KSM and Shiden Network Token (SDN). On November 17th, the Shiden network officially took over the leases on-chain, and now Shiden owns them, successfully extending its slot term on Kusama. While Coretime has not yet been deployed on Kusama, this transaction is a proof of concept using an existing parachain model. （PolkaWorld）
