Nvidia deal shows why inference is AI's next battleground

Summary

Nvidia and Groq have made a deal to share technology to speed up and reduce costs related to using AI models for real-world tasks, called inference. This partnership targets improving how AI processes data it hasn't seen before, making AI more practical for everyday uses. This could influence the AI industry by encouraging more companies to adopt and invest in AI technologies.

Key Facts

  • Nvidia and Groq have a tech licensing deal focused on AI inference.
  • Groq's chips are designed for inference, helping AI models work in real-life situations.
  • Nvidia mainly dominates the AI training phase but aims to strengthen its position in inference.
  • Inference allows AI models to generate responses based on learned data.
  • Improving inference can reduce AI costs and encourage more commercial use.
  • Nvidia will gain expertise from Groq employees joining their team.
  • AI models work in two phases: training (learning with data) and inference (using that knowledge).
