IBM Teams With AMD For Cloud AI Acceleration

This could be quite telling, as IBM had previously been using Nvidia for it’s internal cloud AI research. IBM has selected AMD to provide AI accelerators for the IBM Cloud. This is another milestone for AMD, which needs cloud adoption to achieve its goals. And IBM...

Does NVIDIA Selene Form A Wider Moat Than CUDA?

The annual International Supercomputer Conference (ISC), held virtually this year, kicked off today. Not surprisingly, NVIDIA has already made a few announcements of note. Especially of interest to me was the announcement of Selene, NVIDIA’s in-house 1+ Exaflop AI...

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...

Synopsys.ai: New AI Solutions Across The Entire Chip Development Workflow

Synopsys has added AI-based Verification and Test to its already-successful Design solution, DSO.ai, with more to come. Three years ago, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solution provider Synopsys took the bold step to add reinforcement learning to its chip design...

Graphcore And Spell Collaborate For End-To-End ML Operations

Companies also announce free IPU Test Drive with Graphcore AI hardware and Spell software. Building, training, optimizing, and deploying AI models at scale can be excruciatingly difficult. Especially for large models that need to be optimized to run well at scale and...
