After facing challenges with its first-generation products, AMD's CEO Darrick Horton expresses confidence in the MI300X accelerators for AI training. Despite early performance issues attributed to software limitations rather than hardware capabilities, the software stack has significantly improved over the past year. As the focus of AI innovation shifts, Horton emphasizes the ongoing importance of training, asserting that advancements in AI architecture will continually necessitate training efforts, thus positioning AMD's solutions for relevance in the evolving landscape of AI technology.
The difficulty in creating a training stack is orders of magnitude larger than creating an inference stack. Their hardware is really good out of the box.
There will always be training that's happening, especially as we uncover new methods and foundational shifts in how we architect AI, it resets the clock.
