Galaxy Blackhole Offers Enhanced AI Performance
On April 28, 2026, in Santa Clara, CA, Tenstorrent revealed its latest AI architecture, the Galaxy Blackhole. This innovative system enhances performance in AI video generation and large language model (LLM) tasks. Tenstorrent’s Galaxy Blackhole integrates compute, memory, and networking, offering a unified solution for AI workloads, outperforming existing systems by eliminating the need for separate accelerators.
According to Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent, the Galaxy Blackhole meets the need for a general and simpler solution. The architecture focuses on efficient data placement and flow, boosting performance across various AI tasks. This approach ensures leading performance on every modern AI workload, not just specializing in one area.
Key Features and Industry Impact
AI video generation on the Tenstorrent Galaxy is 10 times faster than leading GPU systems. It can generate 720p video in just 2.4 seconds. Collaborating with Prodia Labs, Tenstorrent achieved this remarkable speed, significantly enhancing video generation capabilities. Mikhail Avady and Monty Anderson, co-founders of Prodia Labs, mentioned that working with Tenstorrent allowed them to unlock a 10x improvement in speed.
Blitz Mode on the Tenstorrent Galaxy optimises LLM inference, achieving over 350 tokens per second with a sub-4-second time-to-first-token on large models like Deepseek-R1-0528 671B. This optimization supports high-margin AI use cases, including agentic workflows and real-time systems. Tenstorrent Galaxy superclusters support batch sizes from 8 to 64 and up to 128k context, providing flexibility and scalability.
The Tenstorrent Galaxy Blackhole supports a wide range of AI applications, from video generation to real-time systems, starting at AUD 110,000 and providing 23 PFLOPS of AI compute power. Integration with Equinix’s Distributed AI Hub positions it as a key component in new AI infrastructure models, enabling high-performance, cost-efficient environments for diverse AI applications.
Public demonstrations of the Tenstorrent Galaxy Blackhole are scheduled for May 1st at the launch event, TT-Deploy. The event will be livestreamed, offering viewers a chance to witness the system’s capabilities firsthand. The livestream can be accessed at 1:30 PM PT via the Tenstorrent website, providing a comprehensive showcase of the Galaxy Blackhole’s advanced features.
