Big Tech computing companies formed a consortium to define a new open standard for interconnecting AI accelerators. NVIDIA was not invited to be part of the group even though it is the largest supplier of AI GPUs by far. AI data centers need to move massive amounts of data with very low latency. High-bandwidth data processing on GPUs happens extremely fast, but the challenge is to transfer data within and between clusters of these AI accelerators within data centers. NVIDIA created NVLink, its proprietary high-speed interconnect specifically designed for communication between its GPUs. The problem is that NVLink is proprietary,
