New AI supercomputer will be world’s fastest- Meta
By J.Lo
“This research will not only help keep people safe on our services today, but also in the future, as we build for the metaverse,” Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc said its research team has built new artificial intelligence supercomputer fastest in the world when completed in mid-2022.
Meta said in a blog post that its new AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) would help the company build better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, work across hundreds of languages, and analyze text, images and video together to determine if content was harmful.
The social media company changed its name in October to Meta to reflect its focus on the metaverse, which it thinks will be the successor to the mobile internet.
Metaverse, a broad term which has generated a lot of Silicon Valley buzz in recent months, refers to the idea of shared virtual environments which people can access through different devices and where they can work, play and socialize.
“The experiences we’re building for the metaverse require enormous compute power quintillions of operations per second! and RSC will enable new AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, understand hundreds of languages, and more,” Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.
Meta believed RSC was currently among fastest AI supercomputers running. A Meta spokesperson said company had partnered with teams from Nvidia Corp, Pure Storage Inc and Penguin Computing Inc to build the supercomputer.
Facebook on Monday announced plans to hire 10,000 people in the European Union to build the “metaverse,” a virtual reality version of the internet that the tech giant sees as the future.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been leading voice in Silicon Valley hype around the idea of the metaverse, which would blur lines between physical world and digital one.
The technology might allow someone to do virtual reality glasses that make it feel as if they’re face-to-face with a friend when in fact they are thousands of miles apart and connected via internet.
“The metaverse has potential to help unlock access to new creative, social, and economic opportunities…and Europeans will be shaping it right from the start,” Facebook said in a blog post.
“Today, we are planning to create 10,000 new high skilled jobs within European Union (EU) over the next five years.”
The European hires will include “highly specialized engineers,” but the company otherwise gave few details of its plans for the new metaverse team.
“The EU has number of advantages that make it great place for tech companies to invest large consumer market, first class universities and, crucially, top quality talent,” the blog post said.
The announcement comes as Facebook grapples with the fallout of damaging scandal, major outages of its services, and rising calls for regulation to curb its vast influence.
The company has faced storm of criticism over the past month after former employee Frances Haugen leaked internal studies showing Facebook knew its sites could be harmful to young people’s mental health.
Leading newspaper last month suggested that Facebook’s interest in the metaverse is “part of broader push to rehabilitate company’s reputation with policymakers and reposition Facebook to shape regulation of next-wave Internet technologies.”
But Zuckerberg also appears to be genuine evangelist for the advent of the metaverse era, predicting in July that Facebook will transition from “primarily being a social media company to being metaverse company” over the next five years.
Facebook bought Oculus, a company that makes virtual reality headsets, for $2 billion in 2014 and has since been developing Horizon, a digital world where people can interact using VR technology.
In August it unveiled Horizon Workrooms, a feature where co-workers wearing VR headsets can hold meetings in a virtual room where they all appear as cartoonish 3D versions of themselves.
Metaverse enthusiasts point out that internet is already starting to blur the lines between virtual experiences and “real” ones.
Stars such as pop diva Ariana Grande and the rapper Travis Scott have performed for huge audiences, watching at home, via the hit video game Fortnite.
In Decentraland, another online platform widely seen as a forerunner to the metaverse, you can already get a job as a croupier in its virtual casino.
“No one company will own and operate metaverse…like internet, its key feature will be its openness and interoperability,” Facebook said in its blog post.
It is not the only company pouring millions into developing technology that could turn fully-fledged version of the metaverse into reality.
Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, announced earlier this year that it had raised $1 billion in new funding, with some of that money set to support its vision of the metaverse.
