LG Electronics ties up with Canada’s Tenstorrent to build chips
LG will initially use Tenstorrent's AI chip blueprint to design its own chips
South Korea's LG Electronics has partnered with Canada’s artificial intelligence (AI) computing startup Tenstorrent to build chips.
Tenstorrent's chief customer officer David Bennett said LG will initially use Tenstorrent's AI chip blueprint to design its own chips, but the partnership is more strategic. “What we're looking at is also some of the technology that LG has developed. Could it not be something that we use either in our own products or potentially with other future customers.”
Tenstorrent, started in 2016, designs computers to train and run AI models and works on both the software and hardware, CEO Jim Keller said.
“We have to aim at the whole thing. ... It's quite early. And it was built on the available components,” said Keller about AI landscape.
“In the last five years people learned so much about how this works and made real progress. But it doesn't look like we're anywhere close to 'this is the right way to do it, the best way to do it, or the final thing.”
Keller is known for his pioneering work in designing chips at Apple Inc, Tesla Inc , and chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc .
Tenstorrent is worth $1 billion, according to data firm PitchBook.
The AI startup has designed a processor chip using RISC-V, a relatively new open standard chip architecture competing with Arm Ltd's Arm architecture.
