Any chip startups trying to compete with NVIDIA for ML workloads?
- nerpderp82 8y agoTens with plenty in China. It is mostly smaller, lower power parts to do inference at the edge (tm).
- GaryNumanVevo 8y agoLots of them, although they seem pretty secretive. I've had to sign a lot of NDA's even to interview
- person_of_color 8y agoGot any examples?

Pain in the ass to get stuff working sometimes, but other times it can be pretty easy e.g. with keras_to_tpu_model[0] which I used and found to be more or less a magic bullet.

- twtw 8y ago> made the TPU and open sourced it In no sense is the TPU open source. If having an open source framework that is able to use the hardware doesn't mean it is open source - or if it does mean that to you, GPUs are open source too.
- ksec 8y agoI am hoping* AMD Radeon Vega 7nm along with ROCm 2.0 will at least bring some much need competition to Nvidia. But the Dev head of ROCm recently followed Raja, Previous Head of Radeon Group to Intel and likely more to follow ( He already pouched many already, at this rate Radeon Group will be an empty Group by end of next year ). So I guess may be Intel will be the competitor instead?
