Microsoft may release its first artificial intelligence chip at the developer conference

According to foreign media reports, people familiar with the matter revealed that Microsoft plans to release the company's first artificial intelligence chip at its annual developers conference in November. The move is the result of years of research and development by Microsoft and is aimed at reducing reliance on Nvidia GPU chips. Microsoft's self-developed chips are specially designed for data centers and are used to provide customers with artificial intelligence services such as voice assistants and chat robots. The chip can be used to train and run large language models, similar to NVIDIA GPU usage scenarios. Against the background of tight supply and rising prices of Nvidia chips, technology companies are actively conducting independent research and development of chips to reduce costs and gain greater autonomy. In addition, OpenAI, as the operator behind ChatGPT, is also exploring plans to produce its own artificial intelligence chips.
