Meta intros AI RSC supercomputer to help build metaverse

Meta announced that its research team has built a new artificial intelligence supercomputer that they believe would go head-to-head with the fastest AI supercomputers to date and be the fastest in the world once completed in mid-2022.

Meta said in their blog post that the new AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) will assist the company’s goal in building better AI models that can ascertain trillions of examples, work across hundreds of languages, and analyze text, images, and video together in determining if the content is harmful.

Meta began making impactful steps in AI in 2013 that allow AI models to reason better by focusing on certain inputs. To maximize the advancement of AI, training large and complex models will be necessary. The company believes that the work done with RSC creates the path towards building technologies for the next major computing platform which is the metaverse. As they begin the foundation for the metaverse, RSC moves into its next phase, and Meta plans for it to grow bigger and more powerful.
