A new paper titled "How to Catch a GPU" explores the feasibility of enforcing international AI agreements, such as a pause in advanced AI development. The research identifies three key challenges: preventing escape from control regimes, stopping uncontrolled resource acquisition, and detecting hidden capacity. The paper posits that the enforceability of a pause is determined by the breakdown point of detecting hidden capacity, which could be around 10,000 NVIDIA H100 GPU equivalents without active concealment. This threshold suggests that pauses might be enforceable for training runs requiring more than this amount of computational power, though active concealment could lower this limit. AI
IMPACT This research provides a framework for understanding the technical limitations and possibilities of enforcing international AI development agreements, potentially influencing future policy discussions.
