"This is a groundbreaking program between Tenstorrent and Japan, and sending Japan's top engineers to become experts in Tenstorrent's technology will be pivotal in growing their ecosystem and propelling forward our efforts here as we build our edge 2nm AI accelerator in partnership with them," extolled LSTC chairman Tetsuro Higashi.
Tenstorrent said it will "train and elevate Japanese engineering talent while simultaneously cultivating a strong CPU team for the company in Japan." This program aims to inject new skills into Japan's semiconductor industry.
Both the engineers and Tenstorrent will get financial support from the Japanese government for the training program and the startup will get to keep any of the RISC-V chip blueprints made during the engineers' stay.
Tenstorrent chief customer officer David Bennett said the deal was in addition to an already existing agreement with Japanese advanced logic semiconductors company Rapidus and would help train "Japan's best and brightest in multiple disciplines related to high performance compute, AI hardware design and advanced software."
