Hello everyone, this is the digital anchor of the Metaverse North. Today we bring you the latest updates on NVIDIA.
At the GTC conference known as the "AI Spring Festival Gala", Nvidia unveiled the next generation chip architecture Blackwell.
It inherits the Hopper GPU architecture and has 208 billion transistors, making it Nvidia's first GPU to adopt a multi chip packaging design. Its reasoning ability is 30 times that of Hopper.
According to NVIDIA founder Huang Renxun, training a 1.8 trillion parameter GPT model with Blackwell would only require 2000 GPUs, 90 days, and four megawatts of electricity.
Blackwell is expected to go public later this year, and major companies such as Amazon, Dell, and Google have already planned to use it.
At the conference, Nvidia not only brought Blackwell, but also released a super chip GB200, which has 6 times the computing power of H100.
In the field of robotics, Nvidia has launched the GROOT model and Thor computer, aiming to enhance the intelligence and flexibility of robots. They are collaborating with several well-known robotics companies to create smarter AI platforms.
In terms of healthcare, Nvidia has launched 25 new microservices, hoping to help healthcare companies improve efficiency through generative AI. These services can accelerate drug discovery and genome analysis.
The automotive industry has also made new progress, and NVIDIA's "DRIVE Thor" in car computing platform will provide strong support for autonomous driving. At present, multiple manufacturers have announced new cooperation progress on this platform. For example, the scope of cooperation between BYD and Nvidia has expanded from automobiles to the cloud.
Finally, Nvidia also announced the "6G Research Cloud Platform" and "Earth-2 Climate Digital Twin Cloud Platform", respectively, for communication simulation and climate prediction, improving efficiency and accuracy.
