人工智能和芯片领域的初创公司Taalas宣布，该公司在退出隐密模式后，成功筹集了5000万美元资金。这笔资金来自Pierre Lamond和Quiet Capital领投的两轮融资。Taalas由原AI芯片初创公司Tenstorrent的联合创始人和CEO Ljubisa Bajic创立。
Bajic表示，Taalas的目标是通过在硅中直接实施深度学习模型，将智能直接注入硬件，以此实现可持续的人工智能发展。该公司开发的自动化流程能够快速实现在芯片上部署各种深度学习模型，其专有技术使得单一芯片能够包含完整的大型人工智能模型，无需依赖外部存储器。
Taalas计划在2024年第三季度推出首款支持大型语言模型的芯片，并在2025年第一季度向早期客户提供。这一消息标志着在人工智能和芯片领域，又一家创新企业正致力于推动行业向前发展。

英文新闻内容：
AI chip startup Taalas has announced the successful raising of $50 million in funding after exiting stealth mode. The funding comes from two rounds led by Pierre Lamond and Quiet Capital. Founded by Ljubisa Bajic, the former co-founder and CEO of AI chip startup Tenstorrent, Taalas is developing an automated process to quickly implement various deep learning models onto silicon. The company’s proprietary innovation allows a single chip to hold entire large-scale AI models without the need for external memory. Bajic stated, “We should not simulate intelligence on general-purpose computers; we should inject intelligence directly into silicon. Implementing deep learning models in silicon is the most direct path to sustainable AI.” Taalas plans to launch its first chip for large language models in the third quarter of 2024 and intends to provide early access to customers in the first quarter of 2025. This news marks another innovative company striving to advance the industry in the fields of AI and chips.
