Meeting the Escalating Demand
Nvidia has been actively increasing its supply in response to the rising demand for AI chips, particularly those used in applications such as ChatGPT.
According to a follow-up report, Nvidia’s impressive results sparked a rally for other AI-related companies, adding nearly $100 billion to the market.
Microsoft’s AI Chip Development
Alongside Nvidia and other prominent tech companies, Microsoft recently announced its own AI chip development. The purpose is to power AI applications for OpenAI and internal projects.
In April, it was reported that Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and former CEO of Twitter, had purchased thousands of general processing units for an upcoming Twitter AI project, according to a source close to the matter.
Overcoming Challenges in China
In China, developers are faced with sanctions that prohibit them from obtaining the latest version of Nvidia chips in the local market. As a result, Chinese companies and developers are exploring alternative solutions.
They are currently studying methods to develop AI using weaker semiconductors and combinations of various chips as a workaround.
While some experiments have shown promise, developers in China currently have access to chips that can only support small-scale AI models, such as the Nvidia chips A800 and H800.
