Apple says it uses no Nvidia GPUs to train its AI models

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple relied on chips designed by Alphabet’s Google rather than industry leader Nvidia to build its new artificial-intelligence software infrastructure that will power its forthcoming suite of AI tools and features, according to an Apple research paper it published on Monday.

Apple’s decision to rely on Google’s cloud infrastructure is notable because Nvidia produces the most sought-after AI processors. Including the chips made by Google, Amazon.com and other cloud computing companies, Nvidia commands roughly 80% of the market.
