It is reported that 'Kunlun' is by far the most powerful AI chip in the industry (providing 260Tops performance under 100+ watts of power consumption), which can efficiently meet the needs of training and inference, in addition to cloud requirements such as common deep learning algorithms. Adapt to the computational requirements of specific terminal scenarios such as natural language processing, large-scale speech recognition, autopilot, and large-scale recommendation.
The 'Kunlun' chip has high performance, high cost performance and easy to use. It is optimized for voice, NLP, image, etc. It supports multiple deep learning frameworks such as paddle. It has high programming flexibility and can flexibly support training and prediction. The important thing is that under the same performance, its cost is reduced by 10 times.
In addition, Kunlun's 'cloud full-featured' value is reflected in the cloud-wide full-scenario coverage of data center, public cloud and unmanned vehicle test and development scenarios, as well as for common open source deep learning algorithms, large-scale General recognition of specific scenes such as speech recognition, search sorting, natural language processing, automatic driving, large-scale recommendation.
Li Yanhong said that in the past 40 years of China's reform and opening up, in the course of our development, for high-end chips, we have always relied on imports. This is the pain of our generation of IT people. When entering the era of artificial intelligence, the situation will change. Baidu's self-developed high-end chips will meet the needs of developers all over the world. 'Kunlun' is a chip that China has spawned in large-scale AI computing practice. Based on Baidu's 8-year CPU, GPU and FPGA AI accelerators. R&D, born over 20 iterations, is another milestone for China's AI chips.
Based on Baidu AI's perfect technology layout and prosperous ecology, Baidu 'Kunlun' AI chip is easier to form a 'combination box' with AI deep learning framework and AI application. It is worth noting that Baidu AI chip strategy will be open and ecological cooperation. In order to advance in an orderly manner, Baidu will continue to create the Chinese 'core' power of the AI era for smart cars, smart devices, voice images and more.
