Why it matters
NVIDIA's market leadership in AI has been as much about its CUDA software ecosystem as its silicon; an automated method to generate optimized inference kernels could significantly reduce the time and cost for alternative chipmakers to achieve production performance. This could foster greater competition in the AI accelerator hardware market and influence strategic decisions for cloud and data center infrastructure.
San Francisco-based AI infrastructure startup Infinity announced today it has raised a $15 million seed round at a $100 million post-money valuation. The funding will scale its platform for automating the adaptation of inference software for new AI chips.…
