Transcript excerpt

0:00 The biggest challenge in AI right now isn't algorithms, it's scale. How do you train a model with trillions of parameters? When you link thousands of AI chips, it's like a traffic jam for data. But what if you could trick 15,000 separate chips into acting as one single giant brain. Huawei announced that it has done just that. They just held their sixth innovation and IP forum and it awarded their top 10 inventions. And the one that you need to know about is the super pods and super clusters. Let's

0:31 break this down. Super pod is Huawei's new architecture for massive scale AI. To do this, they had to invent a new nervous system to connect everything. And this is called the unified bus interconnect. Huawei consistently makes high investments on research and development. Last year was over 20% of its revenue. And what's more, Huawei is also an active participant in promoting open-source globally. Huawei has shown that the fastest way to innovate is not by building closed systems. It's to build an open ecosystem that everyone can scale with. This super pod invention

1:03 is not just about faster hardware. And this has really paved the way for a new AI era. And to know more about this new technology, I'll leave some details and links down below in the description. So go ahead and check it
