NVIDIA AIIP EXPERIENCE MORE CHANGE GURO SHOULD MORE than expected, $ 6.9B collided with diagnosis

Ai Chip Startup Guru Qi Verification On Wednesday, it raised $ 750 million in funding after $ 6.9 billion.

When the word leaked in July, it topped the number of rumors that it was raising. At the moment, reports say the increase will be about $ 600 million, which will be close to $ 6 billion.

Guru Qi, which also sells data center computing power, was raised in August 2024 at a price of $ 2.8 billion, which is more than double the price in a year. The pitch is estimated that the porch has increased by more than $ 3 billion to date.

Guru Qi has been a hot commodity as he is working to break the outpost that has been acquired by the AI ​​chip -making company Navidia on the tech industry. GROQ chips are not GPUs, graphics processing units that usually strengthen the AI ​​system. Instead, Guru Qi is called the LPU, (language processing unit) and its hardware is called an inventory engine.

This product is manufactured by developers and businesses, which are available as cloud service or on -premises hardware clusters. On -Prem Hardware is a server rack that has a stack of its integrated hardware/software nodes. Clouds and on -premium hardware run the open version of both popular models, such as Meta, Dipic, Kevin, Mistles, Google and the Open Open. Grook says his offer is intact, or in some cases, AI’s performance is maintained at a significantly lower price than alternatives.

Jonathan Ross, the founder of the Guru Cue, has a particularly relevant prescription for this work. Ross had previously developed his tanker processing unit chip in Google, designed for machine learning tasks. The TPU was announced in 2016, leaving Grook stealth this year. tpus Nevertheless, Google Cloud’s AI services strengthen.

Grook says it now strengthens more than 2 million developers’ AI apps, more than 356,000 developers when the company talked to Tech Crunch a year ago.

The new era was led to interrupt the investment firm, which included the additional financing of Blackrock, Newberger Berman, Deutsche Telecom Capital Partners, and others. Current investors, including Samsung, Cisco, D -1, and ultimate, also joined the round.
