Apple suunnittelee omia tekoälyprosessoreita
Wall Street Journal raportoi, että Apple olisi suunnittelemassa omia tietokeskusten servereillä pyöriviä prosessoreita, tekoälytyökuormia varten. Projektin sisäinen nimi on Apple Chips in Data Centers eli ACDC, ja prosessoreiden on todennäköisesti tarkoitus pyörittää tekoälymalleja ns. inferenssiä varten, ei niinkään kouluttaa niitä. Yhtiö on työstänyt prosessoreita tiiviissä yhteistyössä Taiwanilaisen TSMC:n kanssa.
Apple has been working on its own chip designed to run artificial intelligence software in data center servers, a move that has the potential to give the company an advantage in the AI arms race.
Over the past decade, Apple has emerged as a leading player designing chips for iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch and Mac computers. The server project, which is internally code-named Project ACDC—for Apple Chips in Data Center—will bring this talent to bear for the company’s servers, according to people familiar with the matter.
Project ACDC has been in the works for several years and it is uncertain when the new chip will be unveiled, if ever. Apple has promised many new AI products and announcements at its Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
…
Apple has been closely working with its chip-making partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to design and initiate production of such chips, yet it remains uncertain whether they have yielded a definitive result, some of the people said.
For Apple’s server chip, the component will likely be focused on running AI models—what’s known as inference—rather than on training AI models, where chip maker Nvidia will likely continue to dominate, according to some of the people.
Microsoft työstää omaa isoa kielimallia
Microsoft työstää uutta omaa isoa kielimallia, jossa on raporttien mukaan 500 miljardia parametria, mikä tekee mallista suuremman kuin yhtiön aikaisemmat mallit. Projektin kehitystyötä johtaa DeepMindin perustajiin kuuluva Mustafa Suleyman, jonka tekoäly-yhtiön Inflection AI:n Microsoft hiljattain osti. Ars Technicalta:
Microsoft is working on a new large-scale AI language model called MAI-1, which could potentially rival state-of-the-art models from Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI, according to a report by The Information. This marks the first time Microsoft has developed an in-house AI model of this magnitude since investing over $10 billion in OpenAI for the rights to reuse the startup's AI models. OpenAI's GPT-4 powers not only ChatGPT but also Microsoft Copilot.
The development of MAI-1 is being led by Mustafa Suleyman, the former Google AI leader who recently served as CEO of the AI startup Inflection before Microsoft acquired the majority of the startup's staff and intellectual property for $650 million in March. Although MAI-1 may build on techniques brought over by former Inflection staff, it is reportedly an entirely new large language model (LLM), as confirmed by two Microsoft employees familiar with the project
With approximately 500 billion parameters, MAI-1 will be significantly larger than Microsoft's previous open source models (such as Phi-3, which we covered last month), requiring more computing power and training data. This reportedly places MAI-1 in a similar league as OpenAI's GPT-4, which is rumored to have over 1 trillion parameters (in a mixture-of-experts configuration) and well above smaller models like Meta and Mistral's 70 billion parameter models.
OpenAI ja StackOverflow kertoivat kumppanuudesta
Mainitaan vielä, että OpenAI ja kehittäjäfoorumi StackOverflow (SO) kertoivat eilen uudesta kumppanuudesta, minkä myötä OpenAI saa käyttää SO:n dataa mm. malliensa hienosäätöön, minkä lisäksi SO -keskusteluja tullaan jatkossa integroimaan ja linkittämään ChatGPT:hen.
OpenAI and Stack Overflow are coming together via OverflowAPI access to provide OpenAI users and customers with the accurate and vetted data foundation that AI tools need to quickly find a solution to a problem so that technologists can stay focused on priority tasks. OpenAI will also surface validated technical knowledge from Stack Overflow directly into ChatGPT, giving users easy access to trusted, attributed, accurate, and highly technical knowledge and code backed by the millions of developers that have contributed to the Stack Overflow platform for 15 years.As part of this collaboration:
OpenAI will utilize Stack Overflow’s OverflowAPI product and collaborate with Stack Overflow to improve model performance for developers who use their products. This integration will help OpenAI improve its AI models using enhanced content and feedback from the Stack Overflow community and provide attribution to the Stack Overflow community within ChatGPT to foster deeper engagement with content.
Stack Overflow will utilize OpenAI models as part of their development of OverflowAI and work with OpenAI to leverage insights from internal testing to maximize the performance of OpenAI models. OpenAI’s partnership with Stack Overflow will help further drive its mission to empower the world to develop technology through collective knowledge, as Stack Overflow will be able to create better products that benefit the Stack Exchange community’s health, growth, and engagement.
