ALBAWABA - Nvidia has been pushing the gas pedal on Artificial Intelligence with ground-breaking software implementations like the recent AI-powered feature which enables any user with an RTX graphics card to convert low quality SDR videos to HDR color space and its infamous DLSS and Frame Generation technologies which helps gamers boost the performance of over 540 supported games, as well as Industry-standard Hardware to train and power AI and Machine learning services, with customers like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and OpenAI helping the company reach a staggering $14.5 billion revenue from datacenter hardware.
On a recent Instagram Reels post, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has talked about Meta’s plans and current goals towards AI and the metaverse, emphasizing on Meta’s aim to help develop an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which has been a subject of debate among the AI industry, and making it available and possibly open-source, yet doubling down on “as safe and responsible as possible” claims.
In his Reel, Zuckerberg announced that Meta is looking to add 350 thousand Nvidia H100 GPUs to the company’s arsenal to help train their anticipated Llama 3 AI model, with a total computing power of about 600 thousand H100s when taking other GPU models they have into account. H100 is Nvidia’s answer to AI training computing limitations, with 30 times faster Large Language Model training speed compared to last generation, becoming one of the most sold AI hardware with half a million units sold by Q3 of 2023, with each unit selling for an average of $30,000, making Meta’s bill for Nvidia around $10 billion.
Zuckerberg also did not fall short of mentioning Meta’s recent collaboration with Ray-Ban which resulted in the release of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, an Augmented Reality glasses that have the ability to record moments in real-time with a 12 megapixels camera, showing how such partnerships can help combine AI and the Metaverse together and bringing them closer to everyday use, which Zuckerberg expects everyone will be talking to AI in.
