Tenstorrent, led by chip architect Jim Keller, has launched the Grayskull RISC-V alternative to GPUs. The Grayskull processors, available as e75 and e150 DevKits, excel at handling run-time sparsity and conditional computation, making them great for AI development. The Milestone launch comes after a partnership with Japan’s LSTC to build a 2nm AI Accelerator. The processors, containing Tensix Cores, communicate directly over networks, enhancing efficiency. The DevKits support a range of models like BERT and ResNet. The e75 and e150 models are available for $599 and $799. The innovative technology aims to revolutionize AI performance.
