Boosting AI model size and training speed with lightwave-connected chips
AI growth is capped by data transfer rates between computing chips, but transferring data with light could remove the ceiling.
-
Up to 30% of the power used to train AI is wasted. Here’s how to fix it.
Smarter use of processor speeds saves energy without compromising training speed and performance.
