Microsoft developing its own AI chip
2023-04-19
To empower the technology behind AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Microsoft is working on its artificial intelligence chip code-named "Athena".
As per a media report, ChatGPT-owner OpenAI is working on the chip from 2019 and a small group of Microsoft and OpenAI employees is testing the chip.
The chips will serve for training large-language models and supporting inference, both prerequisites for generative AI like the one used in ChatGPT to process massive amounts of data, recognize patterns, and create new outputs to mimic human conversation.
Microsoft expects that the chip may add more value than competitors, saving time and money on its costly AI efforts. Other big tech companies, including Amazon.Com Inc and Alphabet Inc Google, also make their in-house chips for AI.
In 2023, Microsoft launched its AI-powered search engine, Bing AI, capitalizing on its partnership with OpenAI, intensifying rivalry with Google.
