TSU 101: An Entirely New Type of Computing Hardware | Extropic

Building thermodynamic computing hardware that is radically more energy efficient than GPUs.

Extropic is building an entirely new type of computing hardware that is designed from the ground up to be incredibly energy efficient at running generative AI models. We call our new type of hardware the thermodynamic sampling unit, or TSU.

    Makes sense to create hardware dedicated to AI models. Especially since it will make them run faster and it will cut down on the power requirements for datacenters.

    It’s too bad they’re slightly straying from the current acronyms. I’ll have to remember to call them TSUs instead of TPUs.
