New energy-efficient AI chip Taichi mimics Bach and famous artists
- Taichi is a new photonic microchip that can run AI tasks as efficiently as electronic chips but uses 1,000x less energy
- It works by combining diffraction and interference-based optical neural networks into a hybrid design
- Taichi has 13.96 million parameters and achieved 91.89% accuracy on a handwritten character recognition task
- It generated music in Bach's style and art mimicking Van Gogh and Munch
- Taichi is over 1,000x more energy efficient than a leading electronic GPU chip for AI
