Forget Nvidia: DeepSeek AI Runs Nearly Instantaneously on These Weird Chips
1 min read
Summary
DeepSeek’s R1 AI has impressed with its reasoning tasks, and two US-based chip startups are reaping the benefits.
Cerebras makes massive computer chips, whilst Groq has created AI chips to rival Nvidia’s offerings.
Both firms have been running DeepSeek R1 on their hardware, with Cerebras’ version of the AI completing a coding test in 1.5 seconds, according to Artificial Analysis.
In a test completed yesterday, Groq’s hardware was found to be faster still, meaning Nvidia could face competition for the supply of AI chips from the sector.
As AI algorithms become more efficient, demand for efficient hardware to run them on is only going to increase amongst big tech firms.
