Meta Launches Next-Gen AI Supercomputer: All You Need To Know

Meta Platforms Inc FB touts its AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), among the fastest AI supercomputers running today and will be the fastest in the world once fully built out in mid-2022.
Several hundred people, including researchers from partners NVIDIA Corp NVDA, Penguin Computing Inc, and Pure Storage Inc PSTG, were involved in the two-year project, the Wall Street Journal reports.
AI can currently perform tasks like translating text between languages and helping identify potentially harmful content.
However, developing the next generation of AI will require powerful supercomputers capable of quintillions of operations per second.
RSC will help Meta’s AI researchers build better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, paving the way toward building technologies for the metaverse, where AI-driven applications and products will play an important role.
Price Action: FB shares traded lower by 2.8% at $294.71 on the last check Monday.
