      Use AI models for as little as $5,000’: Brave CPU startup that claimed it saved 99% on AI costs now wants to sell you an AI workstation – with an incredible price tag and 1TB RAM

      CPU startup Tachyum has previously said that one of its Prodigy Universal Processor units could rival dozens of Nvidia H200 GPUs. The 192-core 5nm processor delivers 4.5x the performance of the best processors for cloud workloads and claims to be six times more effective than GPUs for AI.

      Now the company has announced the Prodigy ATX Platform, an AI workstation that promises to run advanced AI models for just $5,000. The ambitious system, which features an impressive 1TB of memory, is designed to make advanced AI models accessible to a wider audience.
