#ai-chips — Public Fediverse posts

AMD just made an interesting bet on the future of AI inference.

It acquired Taalas, a startup that can “bake” an AI model directly into silicon, dramatically reducing the memory bandwidth and power overhead of running inference. The trade-off is flexibility—each chip is optimized for a specific model. GPUs remain general-purpose, but specialized silicon could become increasingly important as inference scales.

US is now opening export of semiconductors and certain military items to the UAE.
The U.S. loosened export controls on the United Arab Emirates on Friday 10th July, making it easier to export Nvidia AI chips, military equipment, commercial satellites and spacecraft.

The announcement follows a big push by the UAE to enhance the US tech relationship since their war on Iran began.

"The UAE Government and approved commercial entities will also have license-free access to advanced computing items, consistent with the May 2025 U.S.-UAE Artificial Intelligence Cooperation framework, without compromising U.S. digital infrastructure buildout."
