Meta is reportedly readying its first in-house AI training chip for deployment The dedicated AI accelerator, made with TSMC, completed tape-out Meta’s shift to custom silicon aims to reduce its dependence on Nvidia hardware Like many of Nvidia’s highest spending customers,

Facebook owner Meta is testing its first in-house chip for training artificial intelligence systems, a key milestone as it moves to design more of its own custom silicon and reduce reliance on external suppliers like Nvidia ,

One of the sources said Meta’s new training chip is a dedicated accelerator, meaning it is designed to handle only AI-specific tasks. This can make it more power-efficient than the integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) generally used for AI workloads.
