The global semiconductor giant, MediaTek, is on a mission to boost its AI capabilities, and it's partnering with Meta's Llama 2 to supercharge its generative AI services. With a rich history of over 25 years in innovation, MediaTek has earned its place as the world's fourth-largest fabless semiconductor company. They're renowned for creating cutting-edge systems-on-chip (SoC) for a wide range of applications, including mobile devices, home entertainment, connectivity, and IoT products.
Established in 1997 and headquartered in Taiwan, MediaTek has a global presence with 41 offices around the world. In 2016, it ranked as the third-largest fabless chip designer globally. Today, MediaTek powers over two billion devices annually, accounting for 20% of households and nearly one in every three mobile phones worldwid
MediaTek's commitment to enhancing generative AI systems is evident in its recent announcement to leverage Meta's Llama 2. This partnership underscores MediaTek's dedication to advancing AI capabilities within its edge device
Llama 2, upon its initial release by Meta, came with a user guide emphasizing responsible usage and best practices for developing products driven by Large Language Models (LLMs). This guide covers various stages of development, from conception to deployment. MediaTek recognizes the significance of sound policies in the realm of generative AI. They view Llama 2 as a governance tool that considers the core values of AI, LLMs, and other rapidly evolving AI technologie
MediaTek's collaboration with Llama 2 aims to harness the potential of LLM alongside the company's latest APUs (Application Processing Units) and the NeuroPilot AI Platform. Their goal is to create a comprehensive edge computing ecosystem that will expedite the development of AI applications across various domains, including smartphones, IoT, vehicles, smart homes, and other edge device.
In a departure from the norm, where most generative AI processing happens in the cloud, MediaTek is pioneering the use of Llama 2 to empower generative AI applications to run directly on devices. Their aim is to provide developers and users with a host of benefits, including seamless performance, enhanced privacy, improved security, greater reliability, reduced latency, the ability to function in low or no connectivity areas, and cost savings.
To make the most of generative AI, MediaTek recognizes the importance of high-computing technology. They believe that manufacturers of edge devices need to embrace high-computing, low-power AI processors and faster, more dependable connectivity to amplify computing capabilities and fully leverage on-device generative AI technology.
MediaTek's forthcoming flagship chipset, set to debut later in 2023, will be optimized to run Llama 2 seamlessly. These advancements aim to accelerate the development of use cases for on-device generative AI, ushering in a new era of possibilities.
JC Hsu, Corporate Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Communications Business Unit at MediaTek, expressed their commitment to the growing community of Llama 2 developers and users. He stated, "The increasing popularity of generative AI is a significant trend in digital transformation, and our vision is to provide the exciting community of Llama 2 developers and users with the tools needed to fully innovate in the AI space. Through our partnership with Meta, we can deliver hardware and software with far more capability in the edge than ever before."
MediaTek anticipates that Llama 2-based AI applications will be accessible on smartphones by the end of 2023, ushering in a new era of AI-driven innovation.
