Microsoft may bring its own AI chips to compete with Nvidia’s
By MYBRANDBOOK
With an aim to reduce their dependence on chip maker Nvidia and avoid high costs, Microsoft is reportedly developing its own AI chips to train large language models. Since 2019, Microsoft has been working on developing chips in secrecy, which are now being tested by both Microsoft and OpenAI employees to evaluate their performance for the latest large language models, such as GPT-4.
Nvidia is currently the leading supplier of AI server chips, with companies racing to acquire these chips. OpenAI will require more than 30,000 of Nvidia’s A100 GPUs for the commercialisation of ChatGPT, according to the report. Nvidia is therefore rushing to produce as many AI chips as possible to meet the increasing demand.
Microsoft is reportedly exploring an in-house approach in the hopes of cutting costs on its AI initiatives. It has apparently advanced development on the codename Athena, a project to develop its own artificial intelligence chips, the report said.
While it’s unclear whether Microsoft will ever make these chips available to Azure cloud users, the tech giant is said to be seeking to make its AI chips more widely available inside Microsoft and OpenAI as early as next year.
The company also reportedly has a roadmap for the chips that include multiple future generations.
