The oil barons of the Middle East have been trying to diversify out of carbon fuels and into other parts of the global economy for decades, but artificial intelligence may be a game that only hyperscalers, cloud builders, and Middle East sovereign wealth funds can play at the highest levels and maybe, in the long run, only the latter can tilt the AI playing field to their advantage. …
The major cloud builders and their hyperscaler brethren – in many cases, one company acts like both a cloud and a hyperscaler – have made their technology choices when it comes to deploying AI training platforms. …
If you are looking for an alternative to Nvidia GPUs for AI inference – and who isn’t these days with generative AI being the hottest thing since a volcanic eruption – then you might want to give Groq a call. …
When it comes to application acceleration, having a deep understanding of the complex algorithms that underly most HPC and AI applications is perhaps the most important thing that can be brought to bear. …
When Tim Sears ran complex portfolio risk analysis on Wall Street in 2004, an eight-hour, overnight run was the best that could be expected, even on high-end hardware. …
With the AI chip startup hype cycle spinning down from its feverish pace in 2018, giving way to 2021 expectations for real-world deployments, it still difficult to see which company will steal what little share is left in the Nvidia/Intel/AMD dominated datacenter. …
Back in October 2019 when the world was normal and it felt perfectly reasonable to look forward to a slew of AI events that would showcase the newest developments from the chip startup world, we talked about Groq and its inference-oriented chip. …
Few of the AI hardware startups that have made it through the first round of reality (roughly 2016 until the present) have managed to navigate the choppy waters without shifting course, sometimes wildly. …
If the only thing you really know to date about machine learning chip startup, Groq, is that it is led by one of the creators of Google’s TPU and that will target inference, don’t worry, you didn’t miss something. …
