I-AMD namuhla (ngo-Agasti 7) imemezele uhlelo lokuthenga i-Taalas, okuyinkampani esafufusa yamachiphu. I-Taalas yakha ama-accelerator okucubungula izicelo ze-AI, enza amachiphu enzelwe imodeli eyodwa ye-AI, idela ukusetshenziswa okuvamile ukuze ithole izindleko eziphansi nesivinini esikhulu sokukhipha imiphumela.
Ngokwezobuchwepheshe, i-chip ye-AI yokucubungula izicelo ekhonjiswe yi-Taalas okwamanje isekelwe kumodeli i-Llama 3.1 yakwa-Meta. Yakhiwe kusetshenziswa inqubo evuthiwe (endala) yakwa-TSMC, futhi isebenzisa i-SRAM enesivinini esikhulu ku-chip uqobo.
Inzuzo yalolu hlelo ukuthi isivinini sokucubungula izicelo sishesha kakhulu. Isivinini sokukhipha imiphumela samamodeli athile sishesha izikhathi eziyizinkulungwane kunese-GPU evamile, kanti izindleko ziphansi. Nokho, le chip iboshelwe kumodeli ethile ye-AI, ngakho ayikwazi ukuthuthukiswa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
U-Ljubisa Bajic, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Taalas, ubhale kuwebhusayithi yenkampani ukuthi i-Taalas isithuthukise “inkundla yokuguqula noma iyiphi imodeli ye-AI ibe yi-silicon eyenzelwe yona”. Uphinde wathi uma bethola imodeli ebingakasekelwa, bangayifaka ku-hardware kungakapheli izinyanga ezi-2.
Mayelana nenani lokuthengiselana, i-AMD ayizange idalule imininingwane efanele kubhulogi yayo. Nokho, ngokolwazi olusesidlangalaleni, kusukela yasungulwa ngo-2023, i-Taalas isiqongelele u-2.19 billion wamadola aseMelika otshalomali lwezinkampani ezisafufusa (inothi: ngokwezinga lokushintshisana lamanje, cishe lilingana nama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-14.81).
