How does a light-based chip work? Does it use tiny fibre optic cables and mirrors for logic gates or something?
The article discusses the breakthrough development of the Taichi-II, the world’s first fully optical AI chip, created by scientists in Beijing. This chip significantly improves energy efficiency, up to a thousand times better than NVIDIA’s top GPU. The Taichi-II accelerates AI training using innovative optical processes, offering faster performance and higher accuracy in complex tasks. It introduces a new learning method, fully forward mode (FFM) learning, which allows for efficient, large-scale AI training directly on the optical chip.
This advancement could revolutionize AI and help China overcome restrictions on advanced GPU access.
