News Source : Interesting Engineering
News Summary
- Researchers at Tsinghua University in China have developed a revolutionary new artificial intelligence (AI) chip that uses light instead of electricity to process data
- Dubbed Taichi, the chip is reportedly over 1,000 times more energy-efficient than Nvidia’s high-performance H100 GPU chip
- Taichi could potentially make artificial general intelligence (AGI) a reality
Led by professors Dai Qionghai and Fang Lu, the Tsinghua team explained how their photonic integrated circuit (PIC) chip outperforms traditional electronic chips in tasks like image recognition train [+662 chars]
