One of the sources said Meta’s new training chip is a dedicated accelerator, meaning it is designed to handle only AI-specific tasks. This can make it more power-efficient than the integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) generally used for AI workloads.

Meta is reportedly testing an in-house chip for training AI systems, a part of a strategy to reduce its reliance on hardware makers like Nvidia.

Any setbacks in new chips meant that companies were forced to use older chips, which might not sit well with customers. Perhaps the AI industry is learning from this, because, according to a report from Reuters,

Facebook owner Meta is testing its first in-house chip for training artificial intelligence systems, a key milestone as it moves to design more of its own custom silicon and reduce reliance on external suppliers like Nvidia ,

Meta (NASDAQ:META) just made a bold move in the AI racetesting its first in-house training chip in a bid to cut reliance on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and bring down sky-high AI infrast

Meta is evaluating its AI training accelerator, which could reduce its reliance on Nvidia's AI GPUs for training.

Meta Platforms (META) is reportedly testing its first in-house AI training chip, giving it the power to design its own custom silicon and

The custom chip is designed to train Meta’s artificial intelligence systems and reduce the company’s dependency on third-party suppliers like Nvidia, with Meta aiming to use its own in-house chips by 2026.

Meta has long been one of NVIDIA’s biggest customers, relying on its GPUs to train AI models. But, as the company has bet big on AI, its spending on AI infrastructure has soared through the roof. Now,
