AI芯片初创公司Taalas近日宣布，成功获得5000万美元融资，并正式退出隐秘运营模式。该轮融资由Pierre Lamond和Quiet Capital领投，公司由前AI芯片公司Tenstorrent的联合创始人兼CEO及CTO Ljubisa Bajic创建。Taalas正致力于开发一种自动化流程，以实现在硅片中快速部署各种深度学习模型。其独创技术使得单一芯片能够承载完整的大型AI模型，无需依赖外部存储器。Bajic表示：“我们的目标是直接将智能注入硅片，而非在通用计算机上模拟智能。在硅片中实现深度学习模型是推动可持续人工智能发展的关键路径。”Taalas计划在2024年第三季度推出首款大型语言模型芯片，并预计于2025年第一季度向早期客户交付。

AI chip startup Taalas has recently announced a successful funding round of $50 million and the official exit from stealth mode. The round was led by Pierre Lamond and Quiet Capital, and the company was founded by Ljubisa Bajic, the former co-founder, CEO, and CTO of AI chip company Tenstorrent. Taalas is developing an automated process to rapidly deploy various deep learning models onto silicon. Its proprietary technology enables a single chip to accommodate complete large-scale AI models without the need for external memory. Bajic states, “Our goal is to inject intelligence directly into silicon, rather than simulate intelligence on a general-purpose computer. Implementing deep learning models onto silicon is a crucial path to advancing sustainable artificial intelligence.” Taalas plans to launch its first large language model chip in the third quarter of 2024 and anticipates delivering to early customers by the first quarter of 2025.
