KAIST researchers develop world's first 'neuromorphic' AI chip

A research team at KAIST has developed the world’s first AI semiconductor capable of processing a large language model (LLM) with ultra-low power consumption using neuromorphic computing technology.
 
The technology aims to develop integrated circuits mimicking the human nervous system so that chips could be able to perform more sophisticated tasks that require adaption and reasoning with far less energy consumption.

The Science Ministry said Wednesday that the team, led by Prof. Yoo Hoi-jun at the KAIST PIM Semiconductor Research Center, developed a “Complementary-Transformer” AI chip, which processes GPT-2 with an ultra-low power consumption of 400 milliwatts and a high speed of 0.4 seconds, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT.
