Microsoft plans to unveil its first AI chip next month
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft is planning to introduce its inaugural AI chip during its upcoming annual developers' conference, 'Ignite’. The event is scheduled to take place next month. The chip, codenamed Athena, is anticipated to be designed for data center servers, mirroring the capabilities of Nvidia GPUs. This move by Microsoft is seen as a strategic step to reduce its reliance on Nvidia-designed AI chips, currently facing scarcity due to surging demand.
Microsoft at present employs Nvidia GPUs in its data center servers to power advanced language models (LLMs) for cloud clients, including OpenAI and Intuit, along with integrating AI features into Microsoft's productivity applications.
This move by Microsoft signifies a broader trend in the tech industry towards developing proprietary AI hardware to meet growing demand and reduce dependency on external chip providers.
Earlier, last week, Microsoft supported OpenAI has also expressed interest in developing its own AI chips and has explored acquisition opportunities for this purpose. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has been vocal about the challenges posed by limited availability and high costs of the necessary hardware to fuel OpenAI's software development.
