DistBelief Distributed Training System Framework Comparison
By
–
DistBelief is the distributed training system used for that paper & 1000s of other things. Your statement is equivalent to implementing an unsupervised algorithm in PyTorch, seeing modest results (like 70% relative improvement in SoTA on Imagenet 20k) & declaring PyTorch a dead

Neural Network Training Scaled 30X Beyond Previous Literature Records
By
–
This system successfully scaled up training of a neural net 30X larger than previously reported in the literature. You're somehow not very knowledgeable & very opinionated about it, referring to it as a "dead end". Even your "Apologies for the confusion" tweet is incorrect.
