deepsilicon

We're excited to launch deepsilicon: https://lnkd.in/gDYmrRma Transformer-based models have become increasingly crucial in various industries, from natural language processing to Vision Language Action models for robotics. However, the deployment and operation of these models, particularly those exceeding a few billion parameters, present significant challenges in terms of hardware capabilities, energy consumption, and operational costs: 1. Traditional approaches to this problem typically fall into two categories: Utilize massive, power-hungry GPU clusters to distribute the computational load. 2. Compromise on model size and capabilities to fit within existing hardware constraints on the edge. Both of these approaches have significant drawbacks. GPU clusters are expensive to acquire and operate, with substantial energy costs and complex cooling requirements. They also introduce latency issues due to inter-device communication and can’t be deployed on the edge. On the other hand, compromising on model size can limit the AI's capabilities and potential applications, putting organizations at a competitive disadvantage. We help eliminate the need for inefficient distributed computing and compromised model capabilities by providing a full-stack system where we run transformer-based models on a single chip, including existing hardware. Our solution can run on a custom ASIC, dramatically reducing power consumption and operational costs. Here's why this is a game-changer: 1. Immediate Deployment:?Your large-scale AI model can be operational on a single chip, eliminating the need for complex distributed setups. This means you can leverage the full power of multi billion parameter models right from the start. 2. Customization:?The chiplet architecture allows for near-infinite customization, enabling hardware/software co-design tailored to specific client needs. 3. Efficiency:?Even on existing Nvidia hardware, our software provides an 5x reduction in memory usage 4. Ease of Use:?Developers can simply switch their linear layer with our optimized version, dramatically simplifying the integration process and democratizing access to large-scale AI capabilities.
