前两天 WSJ 报道了阿里巴巴正在测试一款专门用于推理的芯片。
Previous cloud-computing chips developed by Alibaba have mostly been designed for specific applications. The new chip, now in testing, is meant to serve a broader range of AI inference tasks, said people familiar with it.
China’s biggest weakness is training AI models, for which U.S. companies rely on the most powerful Nvidia products. Alibaba’s new chip is designed for inference, not training, people familiar with it said.
然后国内又传出阿里云紧急加购寒武纪思元370晶片至15万片的传言（估计是炒股票的人放出的消息）。
今天阿里云辟谣了晶片采购的消息，但对 WSJ 的报道没有说什么。看来阿里自己设计推理芯片大概率是真的了。
