Our take
Increased use of AI, and the hardware requirements that come with it, have presented a challenge for traditional datacenter compute architectures. Untether AI was launched to help companies run their AI workloads much faster, smoother and without breaking their budget.
The company has developed a unique at-compute chip architecture for neural net inference that eliminates the data movement bottleneck that costs energy and performance in traditional architectures. By having the compute element directly adjacent to memory cells, it accelerates inference for diverse neural networks such as vision, natural language processing and recommendation engines.
With considerable funding at its back, Untether AI is committed to driving customer expansion and continues to develop its next-generation of chip and products, as well as expand its team and partnerships.
