Meta has just revealed that it has built a new “AI supercomputer.” The latest innovation from the company is a high speed computer that is designed to train machine learning systems.
The American tech giant claims that its AI Research SuperCluster (or RSC) is already one of the fastest machines of its kind. However, the company believes that it will even grow to become the world’s fastest by the year of this year. In a statement, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, said that “Meta has developed what we believe is the world’s fastest AI supercomputer. We’re calling it RSC for AI Research SuperCluster and it’ll be complete later this year.”
Notably, the news showcases the focus of AI research from tech firms like Meta. Similarly, Microsoft and Nvidia have announced their own “AI supercomputers,” which differ from regular supercomputers. The newly revealed RSC will also be used to train a range of systems across Meta’s businesses. This includes functions like content moderation algorithms used to detect hate speech on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram and would even include augmented reality features for the brand’s future AR based products.
Meta engineers Kevin Lee and Shubho Sengupta further added in a blog post that “RSC will help Meta’s AI researchers build new and better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples; work across hundreds of different languages; seamlessly analyze text, images, and video together; develop new augmented reality tools; and much more.”
