The tiny corp is a new computer company focused on competing with established players in the AI chip market. The company’s goal is to “commoditize the petaflop” and provide accessible and affordable computing power to the masses. The founder started tinygrad as a toy project to teach himself about neural networks, but it has grown into a serious competitor to PyTorch in many places. The main advantage of tinygrad is in its simplified IR, which allows for op fusion without the user having to think about it. The company’s short-term goal is to get AMD on MLPerf using the tinygrad framework. The company raised $5M and is looking for software engineers to help build the open-source project.
