Microsoft now lets anyone try the Bing Chat chatbot without a waiting list. Naturally, this means that many people are currently trying and using the service for the first time. However, many Bing Chat users are also complaining that responses are slow.
One user who wanted to see faster response times said in a Twitter message that “sometimes I have to wait so long, it’s ridiculous”. Mikhail Parakhin, head of Advertising and Web Services at Microsoft, acknowledges this problem, saying that “usage continues to increase, we are not adding GPUs fast enough” and promises that the current situation will be fixed.
These services increasingly require dedicated GPUs in data servers, and this requirement is currently one of the biggest obstacles to the general rollout of productive AI. NVIDIA currently stands out as the largest manufacturer of these chips. However, unconfirmed reports claim that AMD and Microsoft are collaborating to develop new artificial intelligence chips that could eliminate some of the reliance on NVIDIA use.
Parakhin also took the time to answer some Bing Chat questions from other Twitter users this weekend. He told a user that the long-awaited Bing chat history feature will be available within days. He told another user that more aspect ratios are being discussed in Bing Image Creator, but that “may not happen right away.”
He told another user that he hopes Bing Chat will support Code Interpreter in the future, but said, “It needs to be done safely – it’s not a trivial task.”
