Phison Electronics announced aiDAPTIV+ partnerships with ASUS, Gigabyte, MAINGEAR, and MediaTek. At GTC 2024, Phison and partners will demonstrate aiDAPTIV+, a hybrid hardware and software large language model (LLMs) fine-tune training solution that enables small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to process and retain local control of their sensitive machine learning (ML) data. Foundational training of LLMs gives a broad understanding of language but aiDAPTIV+ enables the fine-tuning process that molds these models into specialized tools capable of understanding the topics that deliver precise results for business needs.

Commodity workstation hardware is enhanced with aiDAPTIV+ software, and first generation aiDAPTIVCache Series ai100 SSDs to enable larger training models than previously possible in a workstation form-factor. aiDAPTIV+ is the industry?s most innovative solution addressing AI pain points for SMBs. aiDAPTIV+ features include: Ease of use ?

Focus on training data and not training engineers. aiDAPTIV+ was designed for end-users to reduce training complexity and infrastructure requirements. Cost and accessibility ?

Leverages the cost-effective aiDAPTIVCache family of extreme-endurance SSDs to seamlessly increase the available memory capacity of workstation GPUs to train with more data and scale to Llama-2 70b and beyond. Privacy ? data has value and one want to control it.

aiDAPTIV+ is an on-premises fine-tune training solution allowing to keep data off the cloud. Phison aiDAPTIV+ has also partnered with MediaTek DaVinci generative AI platform. This platform takes advantage of aiDAPTIV+ trained data, empowering businesses to retain local control over sensitive information, from training to execution.

At GTC, Phison will also showcase the company?s full suite of PCIe Gen5 ecosystem products including X200 SSDs, PS7100 Series Redrivers, and PS7200 Series Retimers. Phison X200: PCIe Gen5 performance surpasses 14GB/s and up to 32TB density in U.2/U.3 and E3.S form factors that increase data center and enterprise efficiency. Phison PS7100 Series Redrivers: PHiTUNE AI-enabled Redrivers with up to 20dB signal conditioning to maximize motherboard layouts for longer trace lengths that support more high-speed on-board and pluggable devices.

Phison PS7200 Series Retimers: Advanced Retimers for enterprise and automotive applications with support for CXL 2.0 and link bifurcation for PCIe Gen5 signal conditioning over long cable lengths.
