Intel Optane explored for AI model weight acceleration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Intel's Optane technology, though discontinued, is being considered for its potential in enhancing local AI models. Its speed, positioned between system RAM and NVMe SSDs, makes it a candidate for a tertiary layer of accessible weights, particularly for architectures like nested Mixture of Experts (MoE). The idea is to leverage Optane's capacity, such as the 400GB P5800X model, to improve the capabilities of local models, potentially in conjunction with concepts like Deepseek's Conditional Engram Memory.

    Intel Optane - Potential?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Intel's Optane technology as we know it has been discontinued. But while that's the case, I see it being highly promising still due to its role (or where it was meant to be) right in between system RAM and NVME SSDs. As far as I understand, it si…
