Meta Unveils Next-Gen AI Chip and Datacenter Technologies.

Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, has unveiled its homegrown AI inference and video encoding chips at its AI Infra @ Scale event. The company has created its own hardware to drive its software stacks, top to bottom, and can do whatever it wants to create the hardware that drives it. The Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) AI inference engine is based on a dual-core RISC-V processing element and is wrapped with a whole bunch of stuff but not so much that it won’t fit into a 25 watt chip and a 35 watt dual M.2 peripheral card.
