AMD acquires Taalas, a startup that bakes AI models directly into silicon

AMD has announced its acquisition of the Canadian startup Taalas, which hard-codes model weights directly into inference chips. This technology enables extremely fast chips but locks each chip to a single model. A demo chip achieved over 16,000 tokens per second per user while running the Llama 3.1-8B model. This milestone showcases AMD's capability to enhance performance in handling large data, strengthening its position in the AI market.
