Our aim is to make AI inference chips' more energy-efficient: Positron CEO

Mitesh Agrawal, CEO of US-based chip design startup Positron, claims their chips are three-and-a-half times better in terms of power usage and inference workloads

US-based chip design startup Positron’s mission is to make running artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and AI inference models as efficient and affordable as possible in terms of performance per dollar per watt, the company’s chief executive officer, Mitesh Agrawal, said.

 

Speaking to Business Standard virtually, Agrawal said the company’s proprietary chips, server racks, and hardware solutions have shown an up to 66 per cent improvement in energy consumption over other market leaders, especially in the AI inference workload segment.
