Edge AI chip startup Blaize has successfully debuted on NASDAQ after merging with the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) BurTech. While numerous AI chip startups have achieved exits over the past 15 years, Blaize stands out as the first to go public.

The energy consumption of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Bard is heavily dependent on their size, with larger models requiring substantial computational resources for both training and inference. Multiverse Computing, a Spanish quantum AI software startup, has obtained funding to improve its CompactifAI platform. This platform utilizes quantum-inspired tensor networks (TNs) to create smaller, more efficient models that reduce energy consumption and computational demands.

Wi-Fi is an integral part of modern connectivity, enabling wireless data transmission in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Operating in the microwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum, it typically functions at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. Despite its importance for internet access, Wi-Fi signals remain invisible to the human eye becaus...

The landscape for advanced chip design is changing dramatically and demands new approaches to verification and validation. Many of the most ambitious designs are developed inside system houses at advanced process nodes and larger gate counts. These designs depend ond sophisticated on-die networks, pools of static random-access memory (SRAM), and co...
