SiMa.ai

More partnership news is always a great way to kick off the week! Today, SiMa.ai announced a strategic partnership with Ortecs Components Ltd, a leading representative and distributor for top electronic manufacturers’ components and solutions. The partnership will expand the Ortecs portfolio and bring a new AI offering to a rapidly expanding market in Israel. Under the agreement, Ortecs will serve as the region’s representative and distributor for the SiMa.ai MLSoC, Palette Software and Development Kits.

In case you missed it! Earlier this week, SiMa.ai and TRUMPF announced a new partnership, combining our revolutionary MLSoC with TRUMPF’s deep expertise in laser technology to deliver applications with the potential to accelerate production of electric vehicles. For a deeper dive into the why behind this collaboration, President of Automotive Harald (Harry) Kroeger provides his insights: “AI integrated into the electric vehicle battery manufacturing workflow will allow TRUMPF’s laser systems to make intelligent decisions in real time, reducing waste and scrap while improving energy efficiencies. This not only enhances sustainability but also drives cost savings and increased competitiveness. This partnership underscores our shared excitement and commitment to accelerating the adoption of AI in real-world applications.” Read Harry’s full blog at the link in the comments below. #AI #ML #GenAI #EdgeAI

Earlier this week, our own Harald (Harry) Kroeger spoke with Handelsblatt about our new collaboration with high-tech laser systems expert TRUMPF, which is great validation for SiMa.ai’s differentiated complete ML system-on-chip. “Laser specialist Trumpf is the first German company to enter into a strategic partnership with the Silicon Valley start-up,” writes Martin-W. Buchenau of Handelsblatt. “Together, the two companies are developing AI software that improves laser applications…the (SiMa.ai) chip enables 5,000 images per second to be processed and evaluated during camera monitoring of a laser application. Such real-time testing can replace separate and complex testing procedures in electric car production. This could ultimately reduce the price of electric cars for consumers.” Read the full feature in Handelsblatt here: https://lnkd.in/gW9auxRN #AI #ML #GenAI #EdgeAI

91 startups raise $2.6 billion, with big rounds for AI chips. By Jesse Allen. AI drew more investors to the chip industry in Q2. Four AI-focused chip startups receiving rounds of more than $100 million, targeting data center ASICs for transformers, highly flexible platforms for the embedded edge, dataflow processors, and mixed-signal neuromorphic chips. In-memory computing also helped boost AI, with three companies either incorporating it into their chips or providing specialized IP. Ways to connect chiplets, chips, and server racks was another area of activity, with Germany pumping more than $200 million into a graphene-based co-integrated optics system for massively parallel connectivity. Other optical interconnect approaches drew attention, as well, along with a way to make ultra-high density interconnects using liquid metal ink. https://lnkd.in/g2eY6g53 #semiconductor #AIhardware #startups #startupfunding #venturecapital TXOne Networks Black Semiconductor PsiQuantum Rivos Inc.
