Generative AI is enabling transformative outcomes, but model complexity is growing exponentially. Traditional interconnects create a bottleneck for data, forcing GPUs to remain idle a majority of the time. We need a new approach to generative AI architecture: optically connect nodes at scale so they effectively work like a single, giant GPU.

This gives insights into device integration, optimizing GPU, NPU, and CPU utilization for maximum efficiency. #tinyml #quantization https://lnkd.in/geTA8R3h

More on Jamba from Pankaj including a nice explainer video on what makes it different than other models. If you don't have time to watch the video, here's a summary! (https://lnkd.in/gQEYdNVw)

This explainer for AI21 Labs's groundbreaking #opensource Jamba model is excellent and easy to understand. A lot is covered, but here are some key highlights: 🥇 First production-grade Mamba based model built on a novel SSM-Transformer hybrid architecture (overcomes key limitations of the transformer architecture related to throughput efficiency and memory footprint) 🚀 3X throughput on long contexts compared to Mixtral 8x7B 🎊 Democratizes access to a massive 256K context window 🛤 The only model in its size class that fits up to 140K context on a single GPU  Released with open weights under Apache 2.0 🤗 Available on Hugging Face and coming soon to the NVIDIA API catalog https://lnkd.in/gYaB6uqk https://lnkd.in/gvQBn4Dz

GPUs are quickly becoming the go-to technology for companies that want to accelerate their business to a degree we've rarely seen. During #NVIDIAGTC, NVIDIA President Jensen Huang unveiled an ambitious initiative to overhaul the "40-year-old CPU ecosystem" – and it's already beginning at SQream. SQream CRO Deborah Leff recently joined Jason Hardy of Hitachi Vantara and Christina Stathopoulos, MSc, founder of Dare to Data, on an EM360Tech podcast to discuss #genAI, #structured data, and how the #GPU will transform the future. https://bit.ly/4ckeFj3
