The rapid growth of AI workloads at Meta has motivated our inhouse development of AI chips, aiming to significantly reduce the total cost of ownership and mitigate risks posed by unpredictable GPU supplies.At ISCA'23, we presented Meta's first-generation AI chip, MTIA 1.This paper describes its successor, MTIA 2i, now deployed at scale and serving billions of users.MTIA 2i significantly improves upon MTIA 1, reducing total cost of ownership by 44% compared to GPUs while delivering competitive performance per watt.A key differentiator is its memory hierarchy: instead of costly HBM, it uses large SRAM alongside LPDDR.Although there has been a proliferation of publications on AI chips, they often focus on architectural design and overlook three critical aspects:(1) co-designing and optimizing ML models to work effectively with the AI chip; (2) demonstrating sufficient flexibility to support a wide range of models; and (3) during the productionization process, addressing challenges unanticipated or decisions deferred at design time, such as dealing with memory errors, safe overclocking, reducing provisioned power, and implementing real-time firmware updates to mitigate silicon design defects.A key contribution of this paper is sharing our experience with these aspects, based on our journey of productionizing MTIA 2i at scale.
