Moreover, the UALink Promoter Group plans to release the initial 1.0 specification by Q3 2024. The firm says that the platform will be able to scale up to 1,024 AI accelerators, and an update to increase the bandwidth is scheduled for Q4 2024. It will serve as a direct load, store, and atomic operations interface between AI GPUs
