AMD (AMD.US) acquires AI inference chip startup Taalas to enhance its data center product portfolio.

According to Zhitong Caijing APP, American chip manufacturer AMD (AMD.US) is further expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) chip layout. As the wave of generative AI enters its fourth year, GPUs remain the core hardware for AI training and inference, but the industry is gradually realizing that a single GPU cannot meet all AI application scenarios. On Thursday, AMD announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Taalas, an AI inference chip startup based in Toronto, Canada, further strengthening its competitiveness in the inference chip field and enhancing its data center AI product matrix.
