Meta Introduces a Next-Generation AI Supercomputer
Meta has announced that they created the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), one of the fastest AI supercomputers existing today. Most importantly, the company claims that it will be the fastest AI supercomputer in the world when its development finished in 2022. Scientists are already using the capabilities of RSC to work with large-scale models in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) for research.
The team at Meta expects that RSC will help them in designing and building entirely new AI systems that can handle actual voice translations for large groups of people, where everyone is speaking different languages, so they can easily work on a research project or play an AR game together.
