NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang believes AI-powered chips can reinvent computers, and AI platforms are the future of computing, The Street reports.
AI is pegging itself as an integral part of everyday life, and its scope is remarkably growing. It is changing the meaning and nature of every device we already know, and computers won’t be an exception. As a leading brand in the semiconductor industry, NVIDIA is now preparing for the next-generation computers that are totally powered by AI.
NVIDIA CEO lays out visions for computers with AI-powered chips
CEO Jensen Huang said on August 8 that an AI technology powered by Nvidia’s chips will “reinvent the computer itself.” Additionally, powerful new AI platforms are on the way to replace the computing platforms we currently know.
“Large language model is a new computing platform because now the programming language is human,” Huang said. “For the very first time, after 15 years or so, a new computing platform has emerged. The computer itself will, of course, process information in a very different way.”
NVIDIA CEO added that his company’s accelerated computing will work to align computers and computing platforms with large language models. Of course, Huang mentioned that the upcoming environment that generative AI fuels requires a tremendous amount of cloud.
To support this growing demand in the cloud environment, Huang said NVIDIA is giving a “boost” to its Grace Hopper Superchip processor. The new chip will be called “GH200” and is combined with the world’s fastest memory chip, HBM3.
“The chips are in production. This processor is designed to scale out of the world’s data centers. It basically turns these two super chips into a super-sized super chip,” Huang noted.
The NVIDIA CEO also said companies will be able to put any large language model they like into this chip, and “it will infer like crazy.” Additionally, the inference cost of large language models will drop significantly.
The growing demands in the semiconductors industry caused NVIDIA to surpass over $1 trillion in valuation. The financial reports are also painting a rosy picture of the company’s situation. Beyond that, AI-powered chips can give an unbeatable competitive advantage to NVIDIA and reinvent the meaning of computers for users.
