This chip uses 10,000x less energy than current GPUs⚡️ #trendingshorts #ai #technology

Extropic, a startup founded by former Google quantum researchers, has released its first working thermodynamic sampling unit—a chip that processes probabilities instead of traditional binary bits. The company claims its approach could run AI models using 10,000 times less energy than current GPUs. Their initial chip, XTR-0, is being tested by weather forecasting companies and AI labs, with early results showing promise for calculating complex probabilities efficiently. Extropic plans to ship a more advanced chip next year with 250,000 probabilistic bits, capable of powering diffusion models for image and video generation. The technology could offer a more energy-efficient alternative to conventional data centers as AI's power demands continue escalating.
