SPOTLIGHT. Unified Flash Memory and Reduced HBM are Reshaping AI Training and Inference with Phison

What this episode covers

AI will need less HBM (high bandwidth memory) because flash memory unification is changing training and inference. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Sebastien Jean from Phison, Max Mortillaro, Brian Martin, and Alastair Cooke. Training, fine-tuning, and inference with Large Language Models traditionally use GPUs with high bandwidth memory to hold entire data models and data sets. Phison’s aiDaptiv+ framework offers the ability to trade lower cost of infrastructure against training speed or allow larger data sets (context) for inference. This approach enables users to balance cost, compute, and memory needs, making larger models accessible without requiring top-of-the-line GPUs, and giving smaller companies more access to generative AI.Learn more about Phison's solutions here.Phsion Representative: Sebastien Jean, CTO of Phison ElectronicsHost⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alastair Cooke⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Tech Field Day Event LeadPanelistsBrian Martin, VP of AI and Datacenter Performance at Signal65Max Mortillaro, Chief Research Officer at Osmium GroupFollow the Tech Field Day Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use the Hashtag #TFDPodcast to join the discussion.
