Meta develops in-house AI training chip with TSMC

Meta is preparing to deploy its first in-house AI training chip, developed with TSMC. This dedicated AI accelerator is designed to reduce Meta's reliance on Nvidia's hardware, which has been costly for the company. The chip has completed its initial tape-out and is currently in limited testing. If successful, Meta plans to increase production for broader use, marking a significant shift in its approach to AI hardware. Meta's new chip is expected to be more power-efficient than traditional GPUs. The company aims to start using its custom chips for AI training by next year, continuing its focus on developing proprietary technology.
