A supercomputer to rule the metaverse

Meta said it has built an AI supercomputer that will be the world's fastest by mid-2022. Called AI Research SuperCluster, it will be used to build AI models that can ingest vast amounts of information and process it like a human brain would, complete with contextual understanding, according to Meta's VP of AI. Potential use cases include the ability to "seamlessly analyze text, images and video together," augmented reality features and near-instantaneous flagging of harmful content, all of which could help build experiences in the metaverse.
