Taiwan Continues to Lead Tech Innovation

Taiwan-based smartphone designer MediaTek Inc. announced that it has partnered with American artificial intelligence chip designer Nvidia Corp. to develop a personal AI supercomputer superchip.  MediaTek Inc. said it was using its technology know-how to work with Nvidia on the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip.  According to Nvidia, Project DIGITS, the personal supercomputer powered by the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, delivers a petaflop of AI performance in a power-efficient, compact form factor.  Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said that the partnership is expected to make the Grace Blackwell platform more accessible and allow developers, researchers and students to use it for their work that needs AI involvement.  MediaTek and Nvidia have previously collaborated on the Taiwanese tech firm’s Dimensity Auto Cockpit chips, which integrate Nvidia’s next-generation graphics processing unit-accelerating AI computing and Nvidia RTX graphics.  In addition, both sides have also teamed up on integrating NvidiaTao, an AI model training and optimization toolkit, with MediaTek’s NeuroPilot SDK, a collection of software tools and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), to deliver advanced edge AI capabilities to Internet of Things applications.  At the recent Consumer Electronics Show, Jensen Huang demonstrated Nvidia Cosmos, a platform comprising state of the art generative world foundation models, advanced tokenizers, guardrails and an accelerated video processing pipeline built to advance the development of physical AI systems such as autonomous vehicles and robots.  Huang showcased ways physical AI developers can use Cosmos models, including video search and understanding, physics-based photoreal synthetic data generation, and physical AI model development and evaluation.
