Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Facebook Inc., speaks during the virtual Facebook Connect event, where the company announced its rebranding as Meta, in New York, U.S., on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021. A major theme at the annual conference will be the company’s ambitions for the so-called metaverse, a new digital space that it believes will supplant smartphone apps as the primary form of online interaction.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jan 24, Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc said on Monday that its research team has built a new artificial intelligence supercomputer that it thinks will be the fastest in the world when completed in mid-2022.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis research will not only help keep people safe on our services today, but also in the future, as we build for the metaverse,\u201d the company said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experiences we\u2019re building for the metaverse require enormous compute power (quintillions of operations\/second!) and RSC will enable new AI models that can learn from trillions of examples, understand hundreds of languages, and more,\u201d Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.<\/p>\n

Meta said it believed the RSC was currently among the fastest AI supercomputers running. A Meta spokesperson said the company had partnered with teams from Nvidia Corp, Pure Storage Inc and Penguin Computing Inc to build the supercomputer.<\/p>\n
