Lo! If thou art inclined towards the metaverse or aught that Meta hath wrought in that realm, thou wilt surely be heartened to learn of the company’s endeavors in the creation of an AI supercomputer.
Behold, Meta hath declared the construction of the swiftest AI supercomputer known to man, which shall aid in the realization of its metaverse ambitions. But what impels Meta to fashion the fastest AI supercomputer in all the land? Read on, and the reasons shall be unveiled unto thee.
In grand proclamation, Meta hath unveiled an AI supercomputer dubbed “the AI Research SuperCluster” (RSC).
Kevin Lee, Technical Program Manager at Meta, hath heralded the advent of this supercomputer in a blog post, saying:
“Today, Meta doth announce that we have conceived and crafted the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) — which we hold to be among the fleetest AI supercomputers presently operational and shall be the verily fastest AI supercomputer in the world upon its full completion in mid-2022. Our esteemed researchers hath already commenced utilizing RSC to train vast models in the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision for scholarly pursuits, with the ambition of one day training models with trillions of parameters.”
Meta doth believe that its AI supercomputer shall kindle the flames of the AI technologies requisite for constructing the metaverse. Therefore, the RSC supercomputer shall serve as the hardware that propels the metaverse.
As set forth in Meta’s blog post:
“In conclusion, the labor executed with RSC shall pave the path towards the formulation of technologies for the next paramount computing platform — the metaverse, wherein AI-fueled applications and products shall hold sway.”
Why doth Meta embark upon the construction of the fastest AI supercomputer in the world, thou may ask? Let us delve into the reasoning behind the RSC.
As expounded in the blog post, Meta hath invested in AI for many a year, yet the AI supercomputer heralds a novel commencement towards Meta’s AI aspirations:
“High-performance computing infrastructure doth stand as a crucial constituent in the tutelage of such prodigious models, and Meta’s AI research team hath been erecting these potent systems for myriad years… In the early days of 2020, we hath resolved that the foremost manner in which to hasten progress was to device a new computing infrastructure from a pristine slate to avail itself of new GPU and network fabric technology. We did aspire for this infrastructure to be capable of training models with more than a trillion parameters on datasets as vast as an exabyte — which, for a sense of measure, is tantamount to 36,000 years of premium video.”
In simple terms, Meta desireth for its supercomputer to train and prepare its AI infrastructure for the metaverse. This encompasseth the training of intricate and adaptable models in sundry domains such as speech, language, or the identification of injurious content.
Furthermore, Meta’s AI computer shall also serve to assuage the company’s concerns regarding the security and privacy controls encompassing its training data by employing real-world instances from its production systems in model training.
One benefit thereof is the capacity to contribute to the advancement of research for the improved identification of harmful content on Meta’s applications, among other things, which shall enhance the user experiences across those applications.
Meta doth believe this to be the premier occasion whereat the company doth address performance, reliability, security, and privacy on such a grand scale.
Meta hath placed a sizable wager upon the metaverse, as expounded by its founder Mark Zuckerberg in extensive dialogue regarding his vision and schemes for the cherished metaverse. The more he dost share those schemes, the more excited are we to witness their realization.
Meta’s proclamation of its AI supercomputer dost stand as but another shard of tidings that doth lend clarity to the unfolding tapestry in our minds—it is yet another indication of the company’s steadfast dedication towards materializing the metaverse.
