Grayskull e75 and Grayskull e150 can perform AI inference processing through Tenstorrent's AI execution software platforms ' TT-Buda ' and ' TT-Metalium '. Of both models, the Grayskull e75 is positioned as an entry model, equipped with 96 AI processing cores 'Tensix' developed by Tenstorrent, and consumes 75W of power. The price is $ 599 (about 88,000 yen).



Grayskull e150 is equipped with 120 Tensix cores and consumes 200W of power. The price is $ 799 (about 117,000 yen).



TT-Buda is a software platform that allows you to run AI models relatively easily, and AI models such as GPT-2 and Stable Diffusion are already available. You can check the list of AI models that can be used with TT-Buda on the following page.

Tenstorrent is also implementing a plan to pay rewards to developers who make their AI models compatible with TT-Buda. At the time of article creation, ' Gemma 2B ', ' undefined ', and ' Qwen 1.5 (0.5B) ' are eligible for the bounty.




In addition, when Jim Keller announced the Grayskull e75 and Grayskull e150, he announced that he would ``announce an AI network product soon'' and ``announce the second generation (AI inference card) in April 2024.'' Masu.




◆ Also announced cooperation with Japanese semiconductor development company
Tenstorrent announced a partnership agreement with the technology research association Advanced Semiconductor Technology Center (LSTC) on February 27, 2024. This partnership will enable LSTC to develop semiconductors utilizing Tenstorrent's IP. Tenstorrent has also announced cooperation with Rapidus , which aims to produce 2nm semiconductors.
