Foxconn and Nvidia are building 'AI factories' to accelerate self-driving cars | TechCrunch
Nvidia and Foxconn are working together to build so-called "AI factories," a new class of data centers that promise to provide supercomputing powers to
You're viewing a single thread.
So can someone explain what an AI factory is, from an engineering perspective? The fact there's competition to build them suggests it's not just a marketing term, but I can't find a clear answer with a quick search.
I can only imagine these are just crypto mining farms, but instead of running mining they train ai models
I mean, isn't that just a normal datacenter, then? Those already exist, and Foxconn at least probably owns some.
Yes, but probably more video card focused than running the biggest epyc or xeon processors.
It's just a marketing term.
Yep, just looked into Dojo. They don't use the same term at all. -1 to the journalist for making it sound like an industry standard thing.
