1. Azure chip catalyst
Microsoft unveiled the Azure Maia 300 at the OCP Global Summit in San Jose. The
chip joins Microsoft’s Maia 200 and Maia 100 efforts as the company works to
reduce reliance on third-party AI processors from suppliers such as Nvidia and
AMD.
Maia 300 is aimed at AI inference, the stage when a trained model is used to
answer questions, write text, analyze information, or complete other tasks. That
makes it relevant to the cost and capacity of running AI services at scale.
