The development of AI chips will become easier and cheaper with open-source technology, “as long as the hardware chips are really programmable and people can be creative about how they build the new solutions,” said a chip expert.
Jim Keller, a US-based microprocessor engineer who has worked at AMD, Apple, and Tesla, told Anadolu that “actually, AI processors are simpler than people think.”
“And people would like you to believe you need $100 billion to develop an AI processor — you don’t,” he said, speaking on the sidelines of GITEX Global in Dubai, one of the world’s leading tech and AI events.
Keller stated his firm, Tenstorrent, developed open-source technology ranging from AI processors to general-purpose processors, while they also made the AI compiler open-source, meaning it is pu
