Ideal GPU for Applied ML
Those of y'all who have worked with GPU's for LLMs (either inhouse or servers), based on your experience what is the ideal specs that is needed?
How is upstox for developers?
Applied through instahyre, got instant message but with lay offs going on and startups taking on VC funding, do you think it's a good place to work? In startups I have been people just care about getting it done and not getting it done correctly and pushing shit if it breaks just to get off the hooks. Is it like this? Which companies are like zerodha in terms of developing stuff while looking at the bigger picture?
