Microsoft has announced the launch of its latest chip, the Maia 200. The company describes it as a silicon flagship product designed to scale AI inference. The 200 follows the company’s Maia 100, released in 2023, and is technologically equipped to run powerful AI models faster and more efficiently, the company said. Maia has over 100 billion transistors and delivers performance of over 10 petaflops with 4-bit accuracy and approximately 5 petaflops with 8-bit accuracy. This is a significant improvement over the previous model. Inference refers to the computational process that runs a model, as opposed to the computations required…
