☆ 'Going up against them is insane.' Brave startups are trying to usurp Nvidia's AI throne.
  + stars: | 2024-06-06 | by ( Alistair Barr | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
You could have invested a lot of money in AI chip startups several years ago. "Us going up against them is insane," said Thomas Sohmers, CEO of Positron AI, a chip startup that emerged from stealth a few months ago. "The model of AI chip startups needing to raise 10s to 100s of millions of dollars before they actually test product market fit is insane," he added. TigrisOpenAI's Altman may also be working on an AI chip startup of his own. So it stands to reason that Masa has been trying to raise money for an AI chip startup.

Nvidia may have enjoyed a red-hot run on the back of the artificial intelligence craze, but many other tech stocks have also benefited. CNBC Pro speaks to fund managers to find out the best alternatives to Nvidia that investors can consider. ASML will also continue to benefit "because without ASML there's no TSMC, without TSMC there's no Nvidia," Cvetanovski said. Ray Wang, principal analyst and founder of Constellation Research, also named TSMC, saying that it "always wins." Super Micro Computer Meeks, who is co-chief investment officer at Harvest Portfolio Management, says Super Micro Computer is his favorite alternative AI stock to play right now.

☆ Waiting for quantum computers to arrive, software engineers get creative
  + stars: | 2023-04-17 | by ( Jane Lee | Thomson Reuters | Reports On Global Trends In Computing Covering Semiconductors | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Some are turning to startups who are pivoting to using powerful chips to run quantum-inspired software on regular computers as they bide their time. In the past 18 months, quantum software startups including SandBoxAQ - an Alphabet spinoff - raised about $1 billion, according to data firm PitchBook. Ultimately, the software inspired by quantum physics won't perform well on quantum computers without some changes, said William Hurley, boss of Austin-based quantum software startup Strangeworks. Still, he said companies that start using them will have engineers "learning about quantum and the phenomenon and the process, which will better prepare them to use quantum computers at the point that they do so." Strangeworks, which also operates a cloud with over 60 quantum computers on it, raised $24 million last month from investors including IBM (IBM.N).
☆ U.S. Argonne National Lab scales up startup SambaNova's latest AI system
  + stars: | 2022-11-14 | by ( Jane Lanhee Lee | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Nov 14 (Reuters) - Silicon Valley artificial intelligence (AI) computing startup SambaNova Systems said on Monday it delivered eight units of its latest AI system to the U.S. Argonne National Laboratory, which is expanding its AI offering to researchers. With AI work taking center stage in research, Argonne National Laboratory has been testing out various AI chips and systems, Rick Stevens, associate lab director for computing, environment and life sciences at Argonne lab told Reuters. In addition to SambaNova, AI systems from startups including Cerebras Systems, Groq Inc, Graphcore, and Intel Corp (INTC.O) owned Habana Labs have been tested. "We're working with new emerging AI hardware architectures, and we get early hardware and then we play with it, we use it on our science applications," said Stevens. Steven said the lab was evaluating AI hardware for its next supercomputer to see if SambaNova and others can be included.
