Phison Electronics and MediaTek Collaborate to Push Forward Innovations in Generative AI

When it comes to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), collaboration is key. And today, two industry leaders, Phison Electronics and MediaTek, have announced a strategic collaboration that aims to push forward innovations in generative AI computing and services.

Phison Electronics, a leading provider of NAND controllers and NAND storage solutions, has joined forces with MediaTek, an industry giant known for its premier generative AI service platform, MediaTek DaVinci. Together, they hope to revolutionize AI computing and application services, while meeting the increasing demand for fine-tuning AI model computations across industries.

Under this collaboration, Phison’s cutting-edge AI computing service, aiDAPTIV+, will be paired with MediaTek’s advanced generative AI service platform, MediaTek DaVinci, built on the Generative AI Service Framework (GAISF). This partnership marks a new epoch for AI computing and application services, accelerating the adoption of generative AI in everyday life.

One of the key features of this collaboration is Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ pioneering SSD-integrated AI computing architecture. This architecture breaks down large AI models for concurrent operation with SSDs, significantly reducing infrastructure costs and boosting computational efficiency. Essentially, it enables the training of substantial AI models with limited GPU and DRAM resources. This breakthrough has already demonstrated its effectiveness in the Industry 4.0 sector and is poised to accelerate AI transformation across various sectors, bolstering business competitiveness.

Moreover, aiDAPTIV+ consumes less power than traditional AI server setups for the same AI model fine-tuning tasks, aligning with the current trend of minimizing energy consumption and carbon footprint. This not only benefits companies by reducing costs but also supports environmental sustainability.

Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ has already made waves in the industry. It has showcased its significance in the world’s first mass-produced AOI optical inspection system with integrated SSD co-processing. Additionally, it has elevated the recognition accuracy of Taiwanese AI for Professor Yuan-Fu Liao at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University.

By joining forces with MediaTek DaVinci, Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ technology will have an even wider reach, injecting new momentum into the AI service market. This collaboration aims to deliver unparalleled user experiences and foster a broader landscape for innovation for developers.

Dr. Wei Lin, CTO of Phison, expressed his optimism about the collaboration, saying, “aiDAPTIV+ is set to revolutionize AI model fine-tuning, and MediaTek DaVinci has already made significant strides in AI services. Together, we aim to swiftly integrate AI into everyday life and create greater value for our clients.”

Likewise, Jason Yeh, Assistant General Manager of AI and Data Engineering Division at MediaTek, shared his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ enhances our platform with unparalleled edge computing power and creates new prospects for our users and developers. With this collaboration, we look forward to establishing a profound impact on the entire industry and creating a smarter future together.”

This collaboration between Phison and MediaTek promises numerous benefits. The innovative AI computing architecture of aiDAPTIV+ will enable the training of larger AI models. It is expected to enhance cost-efficiency in AI service hardware, broadening and economizing AI technology applications. Furthermore, the combination of aiDAPTIV+ with the MediaTek DaVinci platform will offer developers more opportunities to develop diverse, customized plugins and assistants for various applications.

Additionally, aiDAPTIV+’s model decomposition allows for swift deployment of edge AI applications, as it allows for rapid adaptation to various application needs. Furthermore, aiDAPTIV+ reduces the power needed for AI model fine-tuning, lessening energy consumption and carbon footprint, which aligns perfectly with the environmental trends of today.

Beyond these benefits, the collaboration between Phison and MediaTek equips AI server providers with a comprehensive on-premise software and hardware solution. This enhances the competitiveness of AI server products, providing clients with all-in-one AI services.

Overall, Phison and MediaTek’s collaboration promises to bring a competitive edge to AI server providers, expedite the adoption of AI technology, and create added value for end-users. Together, they aim to build an intelligent future where AI is integrated into every aspect of our lives.
