    <p style="font-family: 'Lato', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
      With the emergence of various AI model scaling laws, a critical question arises: Can existing hardware support the growth of these models, or will there be a significant game-changer that can perform the same tasks at radically lower costs? For these potentially groundbreaking or bold hardware designs, we are interested in estimating their impact on both system-level power and performance, as well as model-level accuracy.

      The AIxSIM collective, comprising experts from Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Edinburgh, strives to develop a collection of open-source instruments and frameworks dedicated to overcoming the cross-stack simulation obstacle. This endeavor is financed by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) as a part of the <a href="https://www.aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/nature-computes-better/scaling-compute/">Scaling Compute program</a>.
