Meta Tests In-House AI Chip to Cut Nvidia Dependence

Meta is taking a bold step towards reducing its dependency on external hardware providers like Nvidia by testing its own in-house AI chip. Developed in collaboration with Taiwan’s TSMC, this custom chip is reportedly designed specifically to handle the heavy lifting of AI training tasks. While Meta has used custom chips for running AI models before, this is the first time they are experimenting with a chip for training purposes. If the small-scale test proves successful, Meta plans to ramp up production, potentially saving the company a significant amount on Nvidia GPUs, a major component of its $65 billion capital expenditure for the year (read more).
