Please visit our website for more information.In the ever-evolving generative AI landscape, GPUs have remained the dominant architecture for running large AI models. However, GPUs rely on brute force and are incredibly inefficient, not to mention increasingly unavailable. It’s clearly time for a change. It’s time for the comeback of the CPU.
You may be surprised to learn that running AI models on CPUs can bring about significant performance enhancements and incredible flexibility. By taking advantage of the rapidly evolving CPU architecture and mapping our unique neuroscience-based optimizations to it, Numenta is bringing this technological revolution to the generative AI field today.
This presentation will explore:
- The benefits of embracing CPU-based AI, from reducing the cost and complexities associated with GPUs to increasing flexibility and scalability.
- The latest advancements in Numenta’s neuroscience-based AI platform, NuPIC, the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing.
- Practical applications of CPU-based generative AI through a customer success story
