Our take
The AI industry is growing fast, but it's also running into a big problem: power. LLMs need huge amounts of energy, adn the more compute you add, the higher the costs and technical challenges. Hyperscalers, cloud providers, and AI startups all face the same question, how to scale AI efficiently without wasting power. And the search for smarter, more efficient solutions is becoming critical.
Tensordyne, formerly Recogni, began as a maker of automotive edge chips but quickly pivoted to focus on data center AI. The team realized that the future of AI would be defined by large-scale inference, where efficiency and scalability matter most. Their approach goes beyond hardware tweaks, using a logarithmic math system that slashes energy use while improving accuracy, making AI faster, cheaper, and more sustainable.
LLMs and data center AI are consuming massive amounts of power, and this is becoming a real concern. Tensordyne's efficient hardware and innovative logarithmic math can cut energy use drastically while keeping performance high, helping ensure AI can grow sustainably without overloading costs or the environment.
