Meta outlines its RSC supercomputer and its work on two chips: MTIA for accelerating AI training, set for release in 2025, and MSVP, for video processing needs
#riscv Mikael Strandlund : Meta's Engineering and Infrastructure teams are excited to host AI Infra @Scale, a one-day virtual event featuring a range of speakers from Meta … Roman Levenstein : I'm thrilled to finally share the amazing work my team, MTIA SW, has been diligently working on for a while! … Tweets: @risc_v : MTIA v1 is @Meta's first-generation #AI inference accelerator! The processor cores are based on #RISCV and are customized to perform necessary compute and control tasks.

[image] Dan Nystedt / @dnystedt : Meta tapped TSMC to manufacture its new AI chips, the company said in a blog post. The new MTIA accelerator chips are manufactured on TSMC's 7nm process technology, the post says. $META $TSM https://ai.facebook.com/... Calista Redmond / @calista_redmond : RISC-V AI news from @Meta! Each chip include two processor cores (one with vector extension) based on the RISC-V ISA. @risc_v #RISCVeverywhere https://ai.facebook.com/... Rowan Cheung / @rowancheung : 1. Meta reveals their custom AI chip Meta revealed plans to create its custom chip, the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA), specifically designed for running AI models. Mita promises more computing power and efficiency than standard CPUs. [video] Boz / @boztank : We want to deliver awesome AI powered experiences to billions of people. A big part of that is ensuring the entire end-to-end stack is up to the task, from the data centers and the silicon to the software layer and end user experience. Great progress so far, best yet to come! Boz / @boztank : Lots of big AI news from us today: our next gen data centers designed from the ground up for AI workloads, our first custom silicon for AI training & inference, and phase two of our Research Supercluster, one of the world's most powerful AI supercomputers https://ai.facebook.com/... Yann LeCun / @ylecun : A series of AI announcements by Meta: - MTIA v1: an AI chip for fast inference: https://ai.facebook.com/... - RSC: 5 exaflops, 16,000 GPU Research Super Cluster for AI research: https://ai.facebook.com/... - AI-focused data centers: https://ai.facebook.com/...

Clive Chan / @itsclivetime : MTIA seems cool (especially that it supports eager) but it seems to have missed the boat on large language models - where's the interconnect and HBM and fp8? Might be a great cost savings for their internal vision / recsys workloads but feels like yesterday's accelerator https://twitter.com/... @josephjacks_ : In the future, everyone serious about software will make their own hardware. This is already true today at Hyperscale. https://twitter.com/... Alex Barinka / @alexbarinka : Custom chips, AI coding tools, supercomputers: The quest for AI leadership is expensive, and Meta's spending at record levels. Here's what Meta's been working on behind the scenes and how it'll change its business today and in the future: https://www.bloomberg.com/... Tiernan Ray / @tiernanraytech : Meta unveils first custom artificial intelligence chip The circuits come with software optimized to run PyTorch, and emphasize the task of making recommendations. $META #AI #deeplearning #semiconductors https://www.zdnet.com/... Sarah Frier / @sarahfrier : In Meta's year of extreme cost cutting, there's one area that is getting record spending: AI. @alexbarinka gives the rundown of custom chips, a gen AI coding helper, and more: https://www.bloomberg.com/...
