AMD’s latest acquisition could help reduce the domain of the Nvidia market when it comes to Ai hardware.
Giant semiconductor AMD Wednesday announced Has acquired the start of optimization of the software to Brium. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Brium is a startup that seems to be stealthily. The start creates automatic learning applications to allow the inference of the AI, the process that a model of trains uses to draw conclusions from new data, through a variety of different hardware options, according to a blog post on the blog Brium’s Bare Obse website.
I reduce that jargon a little, Brium can help back the AI software to work with hardware to the different from what could have been originally designed.
In a press release, AMD said that his acquisition of Brium will help his commitment to “build a high -performance software ecosystem that authorizes developers and guides innovation.
While AMD is saying that this acquisition helps to create a more open artificial intelligence ecosystem, which is not wrong, it seems clear that it is also designed to help AMD overcome one of its largest road blocks: a large percentage of AI software has been designed for hardware and nvidia chips.
The only post on Brium’s blog, which was released in November 2024, spoke of the dependence of the sector from Nvidia and called Specific AMD.
“In recent years, the hardware industry has made great strides to provide alternatives practicable to the Nvidia hardware for the inference on the server side”, reads the blog post. “As AMD’s instinct GPUs offer strong performance characteristics, but it remains a challenge to exploit that performance in practice as workloads are generally tuned widely thinking about the NVIDIA GPUs. [model] Inference through a leg of hardware architecture. “
This is the fourth strategic acquisition of AMD in the last two years, with the company’s aim to encourage an open source artificial intelligence ecosystem, according to the press release. The previously acquired company Silo ai (in July 2024), Nod.ai (October 2023) e Mipsology (August 2023).
Techcrunch contacted AMD for more information.
