At a glance, the supplementary materials from IBM's paper claim even less: > NorthPole's core array includes 192 MB of flexible memory (768KB of unified memory per core). Assigning 2/3rd of this memory to parameters, such as weights and biases, provides 128MB for network storage. https://www.science.org/doi/suppl/10.1126/science.adh1174/su... My understanding is that this is a small energy-efficient chip for edge computing, like to stuff in an IoT device. Way too little memory to expect to run any recent language models, but could maybe do some basic object detection in a doorbell camera, for example. The article's author seems to believe 224 megabytes is a huge amount of memory, and is a few orders of magnitude too low on the ChatGPT estimate too. |
