Key FactsApple opts for Google TPUs over Nvidia GPUs in AI models

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: tomshardware.com
- Apple has disclosed that it did not utilize Nvidia's hardware accelerators for the development of its recently unveiled Apple Intelligence features. According to an official Apple research paper, the company relied on Google TPUs to process the training data for the Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models.
- The development of the Apple Foundation Models was significantly supported by systems featuring Google TPUv4 and TPUv5 chips. These models, including AFM-server and AFM-on-Device models, were created to drive the online and offline Apple Intelligence features that were announced at WWDC in June 2024.
- Training of the AFM-Server involved utilizing data gathered from the Applebot web crawler, along with various licensed 'high-quality' datasets. Carefully selected code, mathematics, and public datasets were also used to train the AFMs.
- In contrast to the AFM-Server training, Google TPUv5 clusters were employed to train the ARM-on-Device model. The paper reveals that 'AFM-on-Device was trained on one slice of 2,048 TPUv5p chips'. Apple's detailed paper publication demonstrates transparency regarding the techniques and technologies behind Apple Intelligence, aiming to make an impact in AI despite entering the field later than other companies.
