Character.ai, DigitalOcean, AMD boost AI inference 2x

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Character.ai, in collaboration with DigitalOcean and AMD, has achieved a twofold increase in production inference performance for its AI entertainment platform. This significant improvement was realized through deep technical optimization of AMD Instinct MI300X and MI325X GPU platforms, utilizing advanced techniques like parallelization for Mixture-of-Experts models and efficient FP8 execution. The collaboration resulted in a multi-year, eight-figure annual agreement with DigitalOcean for GPU infrastructure, enabling Character.ai to scale inference predictably and cost-effectively. AI

IMPACT Accelerates AI inference performance and reduces costs, enabling more efficient scaling of large language models.
