META INTRODUCES NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING AND INFERENCE CHIP

Thu 11 April 2024:

Meta introduced its new artificial intelligence (AI) training chip Wednesday that supports new generative AI products and services.

The US-based global tech firm said its next generation Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, called MTIA, is part of the company’s growing investment in its AI infrastructure that will complement its existing and future AI infrastructure to deliver new and better experiences across products and services.

The company last year unveiled the MTIA v1, its first-generation AI inference accelerator that was designed in-house with Meta’s AI workloads.

“This new version of MTIA more than doubles the compute and memory bandwidth of our previous solution while maintaining our close tie-in to our workloads,” it said in a statement.

“It is designed to efficiently serve the ranking and recommendation models that provide high-quality recommendations to users,” it added.

MTIA has been deployed in our data centers and is now serving models in production. We are already seeing the positive results of this program as it’s allowing us to dedicate and invest in more compute power for our more intensive AI workloads.

The results so far show that this MTIA chip can handle both low complexity and high complexity ranking and recommendation models which are key components of Meta’s products. Because we control the whole stack, we can achieve greater efficiency compared to commercially available GPUs (graphics processing units).
