Is there some technical limitation as to why IBM Power systems aren't leading the charge with AI? Or are the people using them just keeping really quiet that they have a superpower and not letting anybody know?

It seems like these systems should be stupidly good at AI training.

What am I missing?

GPUs are much better for AI than CPUs and Power CPUs are also far behind Intel/AMD.

		Your statement tells me precisely nothing. From my, admittedly uninformed, position, AI training requires big memory and enough processing units to keep the bandwidth to that memory fully utilized--things which Power should be very good at.
