Nvidia Blackwell Chips Improve AI Training Speed
Nvidia's new Blackwell chips make training AI faster.
These chips help teach AI models by feeding them lots of data.
Tests by MLCommons show the Blackwell chips are much faster than older ones.
In the fastest test, they trained Llama 3 in 27 minutes using 2,496 chips.
This means bigger and better AI models can be developed more quickly.
This is important for the future of AI development.
Nvidia's Blackwell chips show gains in training large AI systems.
MLCommons released new data on AI chip training.
Nvidia and partners were the only ones to submit data for training Llama 3.
2,496 Blackwell chips completed the training test in 27 minutes.
Blackwell chips are more than twice as fast as Hopper chips on a per-chip basis.
