Lenovo has announced a new series of enterprise servers and solutions specifically designed for AI inferencing workloads. These consist of three different ThinkSystem and ThinkEdge servers. "Enterprises today need AI that can turn massive amounts of data into insight the moment it's created," said Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, President of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group. "With Lenovo's new inferencing-optimized infrastructure, we are giving customers that real-time advantage."
Nvidia has licensed intellectual property from inferencing chip designer Groq, and hired away some of its senior executives, but stopped short of an outright acquisition. "We've taken a non-exclusive license to Groq's IP and have hired engineering talent from Groq's team to join us in our mission to provide world-leading accelerated computing technology," an Nvidia spokesman said Tuesday, via email. But, he said, "We haven't acquired Groq."
