2、they require more compute and memory to efficiently execute training and inference on large modelsThe industry needs an open solution that enables efficient distribution of models across many accelerators within a podLarge inference models will require scale-up of 10s 100s of accelerators in podsLar
3、ge training models will require scale-up and scale-out from 100s 10,000s of accelerators by connecting multiple podsUltra Accelerator Link TimelineMay 2024Promoter Group Press ReleaseOctober 2024UALinkMembership Forms Posted To WebsiteApril 2025UALink 200G 1.0 Specification PublishedAugust 2025UALin
