In addition, the company is constructing a data center and a 16,000 GPU supercomputer. On May 18, Facebook parent company Meta revealed new information about its artificial intelligence (AI) projects in a series of blog posts.
Meta dive into AI technologies
In 2020, Meta released the MTIA (Meta Training and Inference Accelerator), a first-generation silicon chip for its AI models.
According to the company, this chip was created to supplement GPUs. It stated that it used this inference chip to improve recommendations and that it is currently developing new versions of the chip with higher specifications.
Company also stated that it created a new AI-optimized data center design, and that the data will be used in AI applications such as inference and training. It will also supplement the company’s (MSVP) video transcoding chip.
Finally, Meta announced the construction of a 16,000 GPU supercomputer for AI research, calling it “one of the fastest AI supercomputers in the world.”
AI efforts are mostly kept private
Company hasn’t revealed much about its AI technology in depth. However, it has previously announced details of AI products aimed at the general public.
FB and its executives have announced plans for AI-powered advertising and have discussed the use of AI in content discovery and user support so far this year.
The firm’s AI language model, LLaMA, was also leaked to the public in March, contrary to the company’s wishes, allowing the open-source community access to the technology.
