More importantly, it lets AI researchers undertake entirely new types of work, not possible using current technologies, to drive the next great breakthroughs in general machine intelligence.

We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for artificial intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore's IPU is going to be transformative across all industries and sectors whether you are a medical researcher, roboticist or building autonomous cars.
