Question: Do you know of an AI processor that can support generative AI models for personal computers and smart retail applications?

Hailo sells high-performance AI processors for edge devices, including special-purpose Generative AI Accelerators for transformer models and LLMs. It's used in retail for smart retail and point-of-sale systems, and for personal compute, where it lets you run generative AI on your own device. Hailo's chips promise low latency, high accuracy and high efficiency, and are good for many types of AI tasks.

For a wider range of AI computing options, AMD offers high-performance and flexible computing options for data center AI, AI PCs and smart edge devices. Its Ryzen Desktop Processors and Ryzen AI Processors for Laptops are designed to handle AI workloads, so it's a good option for both personal and smart retail use.

Another contender is the NVIDIA AI Platform. Although it's geared more toward helping companies become AI companies, it has generative AI abilities that could be used for smart retail and personal AI. The platform is built on accelerated infrastructure, enterprise software and AI models, and is designed to help businesses scale their applications more efficiently.

If you're looking for a CPU-only option, Numenta has a platform that runs large AI models on CPUs with high performance and real-time optimization and multi-tenancy. That's good for businesses that want to run generative AI tasks without a GPU, keeping data private and in control.
