Operating large language model (LLM) services like ChatGPT requires a server infrastructure on the scale of tens of thousands of units. However, constructing actual equipment every time a new AI semiconductor or system architecture needs to be verified incurs massive costs and time.Operating large language model (LLM) services like ChatGPT requires a server infrastructure on the scale of tens of thousands of units.
