Our mission is to be the compute platform for AGI. By building more powerful hardware, we will make AI better, faster, and cheaper. We recognize that LLMs are different, and so we target just LLMs, whereas GPUs target all ML models. This allows our hardware and software to be much simpler. Our approach combines our deep domain experience, a few key ideas, and a lot of careful engineering.
