Meta Unveils Custom AI Chips and Supercomputer for AI Advancements.

Meta has unveiled its in-house infrastructure for AI workloads, including generative AI, with the aim of pushing the boundaries of AI research at scale. The company has developed a custom chip, the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA), capable of both training AI models and running them, and a supercomputer, the Research SuperCluster (RSC), containing 2,000 Nvidia DGX A100 systems sporting 16,000 Nvidia A100 GPUs. Meta is also developing another chip, the Meta Scalable Video Processor (MSVP), designed for the processing needs of video on demand and live streaming. The company is feeling increasing pressure from investors concerned that it's not moving fast enough to capture the potentially large market for generative AI.
