#Meta AI hardware

Meta is reportedly set to acquire Rivos, a stealth chip startup specializing in RISC-V GPUs and AI accelerators, according to Bloomberg. If successful, the acquisition would bolster Meta’s in-house chip design team, which has been working on the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) project alongside Broadcom. The MTIA, likely RISC-V–based, has already seen limited deployment in Meta’s data centers but still works in tandem with Nvidia GPUs. A deal could cost Meta billions, as Rivos was recently valued at around $2B. If completed, it would mark one of the highest-profile RISC-V moves in the U.S., potentially giving Meta an internal path away from Nvidia’s dominant AI hardware. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly grown frustrated with the pace of MTIA development as the company doubles down on AI under its “personal superintelligence” initiative. Konami has announced at Gamescom 2016 their upcoming game and the latest in the Metal Gear franchise - Metal Gear Survive. Metal Gear Survive is Konami's first Metal Gear game without Hideo Kojima.
