SoftBank acquiring graphcore and then turning on the money hose wouldn’t be the worst thing. Lots of talented folks left at GC.
This has been rumored since last summer. Not looking hopeful for an actual acquisition unless they are just waiting for them to run out of money and pick them up for pennies.
Cerebras going to 0?
What about Rivos? Are they done too?
Yes.
They are killing it I heard. Have real design to showcase. Were down because of lawsuit which is now settled
Out of the existing AI chip startups, this is the order of failure from high to low: Tenstorrent, Groq, Cerebras, Sambanova, Rivos
Is that wishful thinking on your part?
Nope, based on well researched data
There are many more…. But most will suffer the same fate
