Andes RISC V Con 2023 Panel

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hardware, open-source principles have become a key driver of innovation. This talk will explore the transformative power of open source in AI model development, deployment, and hardware, with a particular focus on the exciting advances being made in the RISC-V ecosystem.

We will begin by discussing the Meta LLAMA model, a prominent open-source AI model that represents a significant leap forward in the field and kicked off a new open-source revolution in large language models. This kicked off an entire wave of open-source models including from firms such as a from Cerebras open-source model.

We will explore how these developments are influencing the broader AI and hardware landscape. The open-source movement is not limited to software alone. It is equally transforming hardware, as exemplified by the RISC-V architecture, an open-source instruction set architecture that is fostering a new level of innovation and collaboration in the hardware community. Through these case studies and more, we will highlight the potential of open-source for democratizing access to advanced technologies, accelerating the pace of innovation, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive global community of AI researchers and practitioners.
