Jeff Bezos and Samsung Back AI Startup Tenstorrent in $700 Million Bet

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Samsung are among the investors betting big on Tenstorrent, an AI chip startup aiming to challenge Nvidia's dominance in the AI hardware market. In a $700 million funding round led by South Korea’s AFW Partners and Samsung Securities, Tenstorrent's valuation soared to $2.6 billion.

Key Points:

• Bezos Expeditions, LG Electronics, and Fidelity joined the funding round, which will support Tenstorrent’s engineering expansion, global supply chain, and AI training server development.

• Tenstorrent seeks to undercut Nvidia’s costly hardware by utilizing open-source and standardized technology, avoiding Nvidia’s reliance on expensive components like high-bandwidth memory (HBM).

• The company champions the RISC-V open standard for its logic processors, which offers greater interoperability and flexibility compared to proprietary systems like Nvidia’s.

• Tenstorrent’s new chips will leverage cutting-edge 2-nanometer fabrication, partnering with industry giants like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics.

Tenstorrent's ambitious approach to AI chip development has garnered high-profile support, but it still faces significant challenges in a market dominated by Nvidia. With a focus on affordability, open standards, and innovation, the startup is positioning itself as a serious competitor in the rapidly growing AI technology sector.

Elon Musk has filed for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft, and other key figures, accusing them of engaging in anticompetitive behavior. The motion claims that OpenAI, in collaboration with Microsoft, has discouraged investment in Musk's AI company, xAI, and misused proprietary information. Musk's legal team further alleges that OpenAI has shifted from its nonprofit mission to a for-profit model, benefiting from self-dealing, such as selecting payment platforms with personal financial ties to executives like Altman. Musk argues that these actions could cause "irreparable harm" and seeks to preserve OpenAI's original mission. OpenAI, however, has dismissed the claims, calling them "baseless," marking the latest development in Musk's ongoing legal battle with the AI company.

Amazon AWS Revamps Data Centers for Generative AI Era

Amazon's AWS division is upgrading its data centers to enhance efficiency, availability, and support for the growing demands of generative AI. These updates include streamlined electrical and mechanical designs, improving infrastructure reliability to over 99%. The company is also preparing for cutting-edge technologies, such as Nvidia's Blackwell chips, by introducing liquid cooling systems to handle the intense heat generated by modern processors. AWS, Amazon's most profitable segment, plays a critical role in the competitive cloud market, outperforming Microsoft and Google. As generative AI expands, AWS's innovations aim to attract more customers while ensuring robust performance for existing users.
