The Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) Consortium has officially incorporated, which means it's now a legal entity.

The Consortium seeks to create a new standard for high-speed, low-latency communication across servers in AI data centers, and has board members from AMD, Intel, Meta, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Astera Labs, Cisco, Google, and Microsoft. The Consortium is also looking for new contributor members.

Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) 联盟已正式成立，这意味着它现已成为一个法人实体。

该联盟致力于为人工智能数据中心的服务器之间的高速、低延迟通信创建新标准，董事会成员来自 AMD、英特尔、Meta、惠普企业、亚马逊网络服务 (AWS)、Astera Labs、思科、谷歌和微软。该联盟还在寻找新的贡献者成员。

UALink seeks to become the industry's open standard for scale-up connections of many AI accelerators, and to become a competitor with Nvidia's proprietary NVLink.

NVLink, Nvidia's solution for GPU-to-GPU communication in servers or pods of servers, uses Infiniband — another effectively Nvidia-owned communication technology

— for higher-level scaling.

Infiniband is being challenged by newcomer Ultra Ethernet, which is another major consortium of tech giants creating an open standard to counter Nvidia's dominance.UALink致力于成为众多 AI 加速器扩展连接的行业开放标准，并成为 Nvidia 专有 NVLink 的竞争对手。

NVLink是 Nvidia 针对服务器或服务器 Pod 中 GPU 到 GPU 通信的解决方案，它使用 Infiniband（另一种 Nvidia 拥有的有效通信技术）来实现更高级别的扩展。

Infiniband 正受到新来者Ultra Ethernet的挑战，后者是另一个由科技巨头组成的主要联盟，创建了一个开放标准来对抗 Nvidia 的主导地位。

Willie Nelson, president of the UALink Consortium, is also opening the doors for new companies and groups to join the party. "Interested companies are encouraged to join as Contributor members to support our mission: establishing an open and high-performance accelerator interconnect for AI workloads."UALink 联盟主席 Willie Nelson 也为新公司和团体的加入敞开了大门。

“我们鼓励感兴趣的公司作为贡献者成员加入，以支持我们的使命：为人工智能工作负载建立开放的高性能加速器互连。”
