Zyphra’s unveiling of ZAYA1 marks a significant moment in the AI hardware landscape, proving that large-scale model training can succeed outside NVIDIA’s well-established ecosystem.  After a year of collaboration with AMD and IBM, Zyphra trained ZAYA1 entirely on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs, Pensando networking, and the ROCm software stack, demonstrating that AMD’s platform can support major foundation models without exotic configurations or performance compromises (Artificial

Google’s latest innovation in artificial intelligence hardware marks a significant step toward the future of computing, as the company unveils its seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit, dubbed Ironwood . These custom-built chips are designed specifically for artificial intelligence workloads and signal a major shift toward what Google calls the “age of inference.” Unlike Nvidia’s general-purpose GPUs, Google’s TPUs are application-specific integrated circuits, meaning the
