Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworksinference

What changed

Gaudi2 is the second generation AI hardware accelerator designed by Habana Labs. One of the main new features of 🤗 Optimum Habana release 1.3 is the support for Stable Diffusion. This means that new optimizations proposed by future releases will benefit both of them.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
