Wonder boy "Geohot" set up The Tiny Corp company with the short-term goal of putting AMD on the MLPerf list.

CTOnews.com, May 25 (Xinhua) Wonder Boy "Geohot" George Holtz (George Hotz) announced on Wednesday that it has successfully raised $5.1 million (CTOnews.com Note: about 36.006 million yuan) to set up The Tiny Corp, with the goal of revolutionizing the field of artificial intelligence computing.

Holtz then exchanged a Nissan-350Z sports car and three uncracked iPhone phones through the cracked iPhone.

Holtz, who had previously made pioneering work on Comma.ai 's self-driving car technology, is now focusing his innovative capabilities on artificial intelligence (AI) computing.

Tiny Corp's mission is to commercialize petaflop to make high-performance computing more accessible and less burdensome, thus challenging the dominance of large entities in the field of AI computing.

The company's first project was to develop new software frameworks, runtime and drivers for AMD chips.

Holtz believes that due to the lack of software support, the performance of AMD chips in the field of machine learning (ML) has not been fully developed.

Tiny Corp's short-term goal is to use the company's own framework, tinygrad, to put AMD on the MLPerf list (the benchmark running platform for the ML model).
