Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy named Nuked, and I’m here to talk about some exciting news from Meta. The company is making its first custom chip specifically for running AI models. With CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent announcement about introducing AI agents to billions of people, Meta’s new chip could be a game-changer in the world of AI.

So, what’s this new chip called? It’s called the MTIA chip, which stands for Meta Training and Inference Accelerator. According to Santosh Janardhan, Meta’s VP and head of infrastructure, the MTIA chip provides greater compute power and efficiency than CPUs. With a combination of MTIA chips and GPUs, Meta believes they can deliver better performance, decreased latency, and greater efficiency for each workload.

However, don’t get too excited just yet. The MTIA chip won’t be available until 2025, according to TechCrunch reports. But that’s not all Meta is working on. They’re also introducing a new ASIC called the MSVP (Meta Scalable Video Processor) specifically designed to help with video transcoding. This will help bring things like AI-made content and AR- and VR-specific content to Meta’s apps.

Meta is also working on a next-generation data center design that will be AI-optimized and faster and more cost-effective to build. The company is also touting the power of its Research SuperCluster (RSC) AI Supercomputer, which they believe is one of the fastest AI supercomputers in the world.

As Meta competes with other tech giants investing significant resources into AI, it makes sense that they would want to brag about their faith in their own AI hardware. With all these new infrastructure plans, Meta could be well on its way to becoming a leader in the world of AI. So stay tuned, my friends, because the future of AI is looking bright!
