Nvidia’s AI chip dominance is being targeted by Google, Intel, and Arm

The Verge · 1y

Tech giants including Intel, Google, Arm, Qualcomm, and Samsung are forming a group called The Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL) to challenge Nvidia's dominance in the AI market. The group aims to develop an open-source software suite that allows AI developers to run their code on any machine and with any chip, breaking free from Nvidia's proprietary tech. The project, which includes Intel's OneAPI open standard, plans to reach a "mature" state in the second half of this year. Nvidia's chips, powered by its CUDA architecture, have been popular among developers, but competitors are developing alternatives.
