A 2-year-old startup founded by Harvard dropouts has just raised $120 million in venture funding to try and build a competitive chip and take on Nvidia in artificial intelligence. Co-founder and CEO Gavin Uberti said that as AI develops, most of the technology's power-hungry computing requirements will be filled by customized, hard-wired chips called ASICs. "We're making the biggest bet in AI," Uberti said in an interview. Other chip startups taking on Nvidia include Cerebras Systems, which is building a physically larger AI chip, and Tenstorrent, which is using a trendy technology called RISC-V to build AI chips. Venture capitalists invested $6 billion in AI semiconductor companies in 2023, up slightly from $5.7 billion in 2022, according to data from PitchBook.

☆ Here's how much money Americans have in their 401(k)s at every income level—see how you compare
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-25 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Americans' workplace retirement account balances are growing — but they're still lower than what people say they need to be on track for retirement, new data reveals. The median account balance in the U.S. is now $35,286, according to Vanguard's annual How America Saves report, which tracked the performance of 401(k)s and similar plans in 2023. Some of the lower balance totals have to do with age, too: People often make and save less money earlier in their careers. "People tend to accelerate retirement contributions as they get older because they tend to earn more, but also because they're getting closer to retirement age," says Michelle Gessner, a certified financial planner in Houston. Compound interest is interest that's continually earned on both the principal amount and any accumulated interest, leading to exponential growth over time.

Concerns about inflation and interest rates are now at a two-year high, according to a recent report by credit reporting agency TransUnion. Although Americans have seen their buying power rise amid cooling inflationary data and a strong job market, 84% of all adults still rank inflation among their top concerns, followed by housing prices and interest rates, TransUnion's consumer pulse study found. "There continues to be positive progress against bringing down inflation," said Charlie Wise, senior vice president and head of global research and consulting at TransUnion. Relief for those hardest hitMeanwhile, the Federal Reserve's string of 11 rate hikes since 2022, coupled with higher inflation, have hit working-class Americans particularly hard.

Major record labels Sony Music , Universal Music Group and Warner Records sued artificial intelligence companies Suno and Udio on Monday, accusing them of committing mass copyright infringement by using the labels' recordings to train music-generating AI systems. The companies copied music without permission to teach their systems to create music that will "directly compete with, cheapen, and ultimately drown out" human artists' work, according to federal lawsuits filed against Udio in New York and Suno in Massachusetts. Representatives for Suno and Udio did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the complaints. AI companies have argued that their systems make fair use of copyrighted material.
