Ceramic, in collaboration with Lambda, is pioneering a new AI training infrastructure that significantly enhances performance on Lambda's NVIDIA HGX B200 clusters. By rethinking AI infrastructure from the ground up, Ceramic's platform demonstrates superior Model FLOPS Utilization (MFU) across various context lengths when training Llama 3.1 8B models, showcasing improved efficiency compared to traditional methods. The benchmarks reveal that Ceramic's architecture excels in long-context training, achieving higher MFU percentages while using fewer GPUs than competitors. This success is attributed to innovations in mathematical optimization, network efficiency, and long-context specialization, which collectively address the inefficiencies typically encountered in large-scale AI model training. Founded by AI veteran Anna Patterson, Ceramic aims to revolutionize AI infrastructure, while Lambda, established in 2012, focuses on providing a comprehensive superintelligence compute platform for enterprises, offering both on-premises and cloud-hosted GPU solutions.
