It could be the first deal to offer inference-specific chips as collateral: chips built to run already trained AI models quickly and efficiently, rather than the more expensive chips used to build the models in the first
The days of Nvidia’s unparalleled market dominance are not over, but challenges and options are emerging from all directions. ZML, a popular French AI startup backed by Turing Award winner Yann LeCun, has released inference performance software that enables running a variety of large open source language models on a variety of chips, including Nvidia,
