October 23, 2024 – SingularityNET, a leader in decentralized AI technology, and Tenstorrent, a leader in high-performance computing architecture, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This collaboration will push the boundaries of next-gen hardware and neural-symbolic AI architectures, opening new frontiers for AI applications across industries.

This partnership represents an innovative step toward the development of AI systems with human-like cognitive abilities, bringing AGI closer to reality.

Through a structured, three-phase strategy, SingularityNET and Tenstorrent will combine their expertise to develop AGI-optimized hardware and software architectures:

Phase 1: Tenstorrent’s chip technology, including Blackhole and Wormhole server racks, will be integrated into SingularityNET’s AI platforms to optimize neural-symbolic AI workloads. These advanced chips, designed to handle complex tasks such as Deep Neural Network (DNN) training and Large Language Model (LLM) inference, will enable SingularityNET to scale its AGI research dramatically.

Phase 2: The next phase will pilot Tenstorrent’s Blackhole chips in autonomous devices, including robotics and distributed AI clusters. These systems will leverage real-time decision-making powered by neural-symbolic AI, enhancing their efficiency and accuracy in autonomous operations.

Phase 3: In the final phase, the companies will co-develop AGI-optimized chip architectures capable of managing dynamic AI workloads. These chips will scale from supercomputing nodes to edge devices, transforming industries such as robotics and healthcare.

“I love people and companies with bold visions, which is why I am excited to be partnering with SingularityNET,” Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent. “Our hardware and open-source software stacks are perfect for them to use to pursue their mission to accelerate the evolution of AGI.”

This partnership is further bolstered by SingularityNET’s leadership role in the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, a coalition dedicated to responsibly advancing decentralized AGI and Artificial Superintelligence. Alongside Fetch.ai and Ocean Protocol, the ASI Alliance is at the forefront of developing ethical, open-source AI technologies that will shape the future of intelligent systems.

“Recent advances in LLMs and other deep neural nets have been substantially accelerated by supporting advances in GPU hardware by NVidia and others,” said Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, CEO of Artificial Superintelligence Alliance.  “The next phase of AI advancement is going to take us beyond the limitations of LLMs toward human-level AGI and ever more powerful practical applications, and it’s going to be accelerated by supporting advances in novel compute architectures going way beyond what NVidia is doing.  There is a beautiful synergy between the neural-symbolic AGI architectures we’re working on in OpenCog Hyperon, SingularityNET and the ASI Alliance, and the tight fusion between GPU and CPU that we see in Tenstorrent’s product pipeline.  SingularityNET’s partnership with Tenstorrent brings novel software and novel hardware together in a remarkably well-matched way ideally suited to catalyze the next phase of the AGI revolution.”

Future Implications and Next Steps:

The partnership between SingularityNET and Tenstorrent is poised to revolutionize AGI and neural-symbolic AI architectures. The collaboration will progress in three phases, promising hardware and software solutions that can transform industries on a global scale.

●  Phase 1: is already underway, with the integration of Tenstorrent’s advanced hardware into SingularityNET’s AI research platforms.

●  Phase 2: will begin soon, piloting Tenstorrent’s Blackhole technology in autonomous systems and robotics.

●  Phase 3: will see the joint development of AGI-optimized chip architectures, capable of scaling from supercomputing environments to edge devices.

As the collaboration advances, SingularityNET and Tenstorrent will continue to provide updates on key development milestones. Stakeholders and potential partners are encouraged to stay informed by following official announcements and publications.

About SingularityNET
SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). According to Dr. Goertzel, AGI should be independent of any central entity, open to anyone and not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or a single country. The SNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. The core platform and the SNET AI teams are complemented by specialized teams devoted to various application areas such as robotics, biomedical AI, finance, media, arts and entertainment.
