Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ technology wins “Best of Show, Most Innovative AI Application” award at FMS2024

Santa Clara, CA , August 7, 2024 – Phison (8299TT), a leading innovator in NAND Flash technologies, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a “Best of Show, Most Innovative AI Application'” award at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage, recognized as the world's foremost conference highlighting the key advancements, trends, and industry figures shaping the multi-billion-dollar high-speed memory, storage, and SSD markets. This esteemed recognition highlights Phison's commitment to excellence and innovation in making GenAI accessible and affordable for every size enterprise.

The 'Best of Show' award is given to the most outstanding product, service, or innovation showcased at FMS. Phison's aiDAPTIV+ technology received this honor for its groundbreaking innovation that empowers users with limited resources to train large language models. The end-to-end AI appliance solution has been recognized for allowing system integrators to build turn-key large language model training systems from start to successful finish. With a simplistic user experience that turns raw data into tokenized data, aiDAPTIV+ runs the fine-tuning process with Llama-3 70B precision and offers the ability to ask questions about the data, all from a local domain on premises.

"We are thrilled and honored to receive the 'Best of Show' award at FMS for the most innovative AI Application,” said K.S. Pua, CEO of Phison.  "This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in making GenAI affordable and accessible for all sized companies. We are excited to continue to innovate and provide our customers with top-notch aiDAPTIV+ products."

aiDAPTIV+ is a hybrid hardware and software solution that unlocks large model training. Prior to the release of aiDAPTIV+ to the market, small and medium-sized businesses have dealt with limited technology options offering small and imprecise training without the ability to scale beyond 7B model training. Phison's aiDAPTIV+ solution enables significantly larger model fine-tuning to allow users to run workloads previously reserved for data centers.

Held annually in August in the heart of Silicon Valley, FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage is the premier memory and storage event attracting top professionals, innovators, and companies from around the world.  The “Best of Show” award is one of the highest honors given at the event, recognizing outstanding achievement and innovation.  For more information about FMS, please visit FutureMemoryStorage.com
