Cerebras Systems Lays The Foundation For Huge Artificial Intelligence

Startup announces technology to enable a 120-trillion-parameter model on the way to brain-scale AI. OK, I thought I was done with preparing for HotChips, having prepared six blogs and three research papers. I was ready to take a few days off. Nonetheless, I decided to...

Is The AMD GPU Better Than We Thought For AI?

MosaicML, just acquired by DataBricks for $1.3B, published some interesting benchmarks for training LLMs on the AMD MI250 GPU, and said it is ~80% as fast as an NVIDIA A100. Did the world just change? To be brutally honest, everyone wants to see a fight, between AMD...

Qualcomm Is Rightly Proud Of Its New AI Hub

The mobile chip giant has released a new App Store for AI developers, with over 75 models in its “zoo” and support for every modern Snapdragon chip. Have you ever tried to stand up the infrastructure and software required for inference processing? It is complicated....

OpenAI’s Deep Research Demands More Hardware, Not Less

Discussions about Deep Seek’s impact on Nvidia is everywhere. Yesterday, I heard an investor on CNBC’s "Fast Money" program pontificate that Deep Seek and its disruptive technology mean that “Nobody needs an Nvidia H100 anymore,” much less a Blackwell. I struggle to...

Meta Builds World’s Largest AI Supercomputer With NVIDIA For AI Research And Production

There are big implications, for both companies, beyond just bragging rights. Facebook, I mean Meta, has always been one of the industry leaders when it comes to AI research and deployment. The company processes hundreds of trillions (yes, trillions with a “T”) of...

Will NVIDIA Enter The Race For Quantum Computing?

Well, not directly. However, the company is making it easier to develop code for quantum machines using GPUs. Ok, let's face it. Programming quantum computers is hard. REALLY hard. While we do not expect NVIDIA to develop and market their own quantum system any time...

This Cadence AI Super Agent Is World’s First To Automate Chip Design

The semiconductor industry has been applying AI to accelerate chip design for over three years, achieving 10X productivity gains and focusing primarily on tasks that now seem relatively easy, such as floor-plan optimization using massive recurrent neural networks. But...

Will AMD’s MI300 Beat NVIDIA In AI?

The upcoming MI300, which will ship Latter this year after NVIDIA’s Grace/Hopper Superchip, certainly has a shot at it. But there remain a lot of unknowns that will determine how well it performs for AI applications. And then there is Software. Yeah, Software. Lots of...
