    Karthik Dinakar

    Co-Founder and CTO

    “We’ve developed efficiency techniques, enabled by the IPU, which dramatically increase performance for both training and inference. Then there’s the superior economics of IPU-based systems, in terms of performance-per-dollar, that we can pass on to end users.

    The user experience we deliver with Graphcore IPUs is not only fast, it’s computationally efficient, which makes critical real-time insights available for customers who operate in fast-moving environments but need AI to deliver ROI.”

    Julien Salinas

    Founder and CTO

    “Graphcore IPUs have distinguished themselves as a powerful, efficient AI compute platform and the leading challenger to GPUs.

    "For NLP Cloud users, moving to a model running on IPUs is completely seamless; there are no code-changes or other adjustments to be made, just outstanding performance that they and their business can rely on.”
