The investment includes modular data centers and high-performance AI infrastructure for advancements in deep neural networks and large language models.
SingularityNET, an artificial intelligence platform developer, has revealed a $53 million investment in a modular supercomputer dedicated to decentralized artificial general intelligence (AGI).
According to a July 23 announcement, the investment’s first phase will allocate $26.5 million to the supercomputer, incorporating modular data center solutions from Ecoblox, graphics processing units (GPUs) and processors from companies such as Nvidia, AMD and Tenstorrent, as well as AI servers from Asus and Gigabyte.
A modular supercomputer is a high-performance computing system built with a flexible and scalable architecture that can be easily expanded and upgraded by adding or replacing modules. In other words, developers can add more power as needed without replacing an entire system. According to SingularityNET, the modular supercomputer will be the world’s first dedicated to decentralized AGI and artificial superintelligence research.
