In a move that directly challenges Nvidia in the lucrative AI training and inference markets, Intel announced its long-anticipated new Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerator at its Intel Vision event.

The new accelerator offers significant improvements over the previous generation Gaudi 3 processor, promising to bring new competitiveness to training and inference for LLMs and multimodal models.

Gaudi 3 dramatically increases AI compute capabilities, delivering substantial improvements over Gaudi 2 and competitors, particularly in processing BF16 data types, which are crucial for AI workloads.

Data analytics company Databricks says its mission is to deliver data intelligence to every enterprise by allowing organizations to understand and use their unique data to build their own AI systems. Central to that mission is the ability to use a large language model tailored to the needs of the enterprise.

Databricks addresses the need for open LLMs with the release of DBRX, a new open, general-purpose large language model that sets new benchmarks for performance and efficiency. The announcement continues the recent trend of open large language models adapted for the needs of the enterprise.

The open-source DBRX large language model was developed by Databricks’ Mosaic Research team, which it acquired in June 2023 as part of its MosaicML acquisition.
