Tiny corp., a startup that manages the neural network framework tinygrad, has unveiled a new AI system that uses six AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards. The tinybox, priced at $15,000, is aimed at democratizing PetaFLOPS-class performance for artificial intelligence.
The tinybox system is a compact powerhouse, packing six of AMD's fastest gaming GPUs into a 12U rack case. The GPUs are connected using 'full fabric' PCIe 4.0 x16 links to ensure maximum bandwidth. Tiny corp. says it chose the Radeon RX 7900 XTX over Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 because the GPUs fully support the peer-to-peer interconnections necessary for LLMs.
