Quality. Yeah, using the extra compute to increase speed of development iterations would be a benefit. They could train a bunch of models in parallel and either pick the best model to use or use them all as an ensemble or something.
My guess is that the main reason for all the GPUs is they're going to offer hosting and training infrastructure for everyone. That would align with the strategy of releasing models as "open" then trying to entice people into their cloud ecosystem. Or, maybe they really are trying to achieve AGI as they state in the article. I don't really know of any ML architectures that would allow for AGI though (besides the theoretical, incomputable AIXI).
