Today at Hot Chips 2024, FuriosaAI is pulling back the curtain on RNGD (pronounced “Renegade”), our new AI accelerator designed for high-performance, highly efficient large language model (LLM) and multimodal model inference in data centers. As part of his Hot Chips presentation, Furiosa co-founder and CEO June Paik is sharing technical details and providing the first hands-on look at the fully functioning RNGD card.
With a TDP of 150 watts, a novel chip architecture, and advanced memory technology like HBM3, RNGD is optimized for inference with demanding LLMs and multimodal models. It’s built to deliver high performance, power efficiency, and programmability all in a single product – a trifecta that the industry has struggled to achieve in GPUs and other AI chips.
