---"AI chips have a different architecture."

- Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

Five years ago AI chips didn't exist.

Now they're everywhere.

It's been a [billion dollar 3-year race](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LJL_J6fRx3u83KZ56lUqwASMoff4FWaNq9qo6Yv1fKzbvUwV6PEyMSYaC7Mqn8RoBj85-0QX-e8mK0kNj9LsMeCGX4iPJ2sTP2VWWbsnLwYV_WShxo0rZe1bwUE2EkCT_JEQZtb6tHnWqZQ6VDmC7JN3kvXsd7rd4vSSbkxbvM5PtnSZ8sY8NyxkT7XZd-CEEC7uufzjq8eZVHmzxzXxRldGe7vS1RdiswboZwKLVjuY4S770J-wcA==&c=&ch=)[.](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LJL_J6fRx3u83KZ56lUqwASMoff4FWaNq9qo6Yv1fKzbvUwV6PEyMSYaC7Mqn8RoBj85-0QX-e8mK0kNj9LsMeCGX4iPJ2sTP2VWWbsnLwYV_WShxo0rZe1bwUE2EkCT_JEQZtb6tHnWqZQ6VDmC7JN3kvXsd7rd4vSSbkxbvM5PtnSZ8sY8NyxkT7XZd-CEEC7uufzjq8eZVHmzxzXxRldGe7vS1RdiswboZwKLVjuY4S770J-wcA==&c=&ch=)

And the race isn't over . . . in fact . . . it's accelerating.

Here is the latest entry from Cerebras who says their new system will support 125 trillion parameter (brain-sized) machine-learning models.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching this video to catch a glimpse of how these AI chip systems work:

---"These AI chips are significantly increasing our speed and capabilities at EnviroAI. It's just a lot faster to train and execute machine-learning models on this architecture."
