China’s First Cloud-To-Edge Ai Chip To Benefit Users And Enterprises

KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- Baidu Inc has introduced Kunlun, China’s first cloud-to-edge AI chip, built to accommodate high performance requirements of a wide variety of AI scenarios. Baidu is the leading Chinese language Internet search provider and aims to make a complex world simpler for users and enterprises through technology, a statement said. Kunlun chip can also support a wide variety of AI applications, including voice recognition, search ranking, natural language processing, autonomous driving and large-scale recommendations. The solution includes training chip “818-300”and inference chip “818-100”. It can be applied to both cloud and edge scenarios, such as data centers, public clouds and autonomous vehicles. The chip is a high-performance and cost-effective solution for the high processing demands of AI. It leverages Baidu’s AI ecosystem, which includes search ranking and deep learning frameworks like PaddlePaddle. Baidu’s years of experience in optimizing the performance of these AI services and frameworks afforded the company the expertise required to build a world class AI chip. The chip is made up of thousands of small cores with computational capability which is nearly 30 times faster than the original FPGA-based accelerator. More details on http://www.baidu.com/ --BERNAMA
