That is a serious commitment, but it is not just about making another chip: Microsoft wants Maia to become the primary inference system for its own products and services.</p> <p>Not dissimilar to others as Google has their own TPUs, AWS is trying something too, Meta has its own AI chips for internal use. Microsoft is just catching up, with its own chips and also its own models (which are still way behind the competition) 🤣</p>
