Our take
Traditional hardware, mainly GPUs, used for training these models, comes at a high cost, both financially and environmentally, producing millions of dollars in expenses and hundreds of tons of greenhouse gases. In response, Graphcore is developing accelerator chips designed to expedite AI system training while significantly reducing power consumption.
AI accelerators like those crafted by Graphcore specialise in enhancing specific AI applications, such as artificial neural networks, deep learning, and machine learning. Utilising multicore designs and prioritising low-precision arithmetic or in-memory computing, these accelerators elevate the performance of large AI algorithms, achieving breakthrough results in natural language processing and computer vision.
Graphcore has ambitious plans to creat an AI supercomputer set to debut in 2024, aiming to be one of the most powerful in its class. The company is actively seeking strategic partnerships to bring this vision to fruition, signaling its commitment to shaping the future of AI computing.
