With demand for AI chips rising and provides tightening, Meta is taking its AI computing wants into its personal palms and creating extra of its personal chips: It’ll produce 4 new generations of chips over the following two years.
Cloud computing giants together with Meta, AWS, and Google have been eager to develop their very own chips to enhance the efficiency of their very own knowledge facilities. Meta began its personal chip program in 2023, when it applied the Meta Coaching and Inference Accelerator (MTIA), a household of custom-built silicon chips to energy its AI workloads effectively.
The MTIA 300, which Meta will use for rating and proposals coaching, is already in manufacturing, Meta stated. It’ll use the opposite deliberate chips, the MTIA 400, 450, and 500, primarily for generative AI inference manufacturing, it stated.
