Open competition for AI chip design is running right now.

About SN108 ChipForge

Taτsu@TatsuEcosystem

Open competition for AI chip design is running right now. On @ChipForge, miners submit complete NPU designs, and every design is checked bit-exact and scored on speed and area across seven vision models. Quest 2 is open until Nov 23.

Quoting @ChipForge

Quest 2 is underway, and miners are already pushing the score up. The challenge: design a full-stack edge AI NPU, with chip, compiler and runtime in one submission. Every design is scored on speed across seven real AI models, with exact correctness required and area measured at 28 nm. So far, 15 miners have submitted designs, and the score to beat has climbed from 8.0 to 87.2. A thousand minds, one chip. Quest 2 closes Nov 23.
