UXL: An Nvidia-killing consortium?
The new open-source consortium is called the Unified Acceleration Foundation, or UXL, and consists of eight of the world's largest AI chip and software companies.
The latest from UXL: We'll have a CUDA disruptor by 2025
Both Reuters and The Register recently interviewed members of UXL, which claims it will have a mature CUDA rival ready for release later this year.
- The consortium led by Intel and seven top tech companies aims to challenge Nvidia's AI chip dominance.
- UXL plans to release an open-source CUDA alternative by 2025, potentially impacting Nvidia's market share and margins.
- Despite Nvidia's strong position, the collaborative effort from UXL presents a significant challenge to Nvidia's near-monopoly on AI chips.
