A team cut their AI inference bill by more than half. Three months later, customer satisfaction was dropping and the cost savings were tied to the quality loss. Cost-optimization routing layers are a Pareto trap, and here's the detection methodology that catches them in days instead of months. The post We Built a Routing Layer to Cut Our AI Costs. It Broke the Product. appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Unconventional AI, a startup founded by Naveen Rao, formerly head of AI at Databricks, has released its first AI model and an accompanying research paper detailing a radical reimagining of computing architecture designed to dramatically reduce the energy cost of AI inference. The company’s debut model, Un-0, is an image-generation system built on an oscillator-based […]
AI inference company Groq has closed a $650 million funding round as it pivots its business following a landmark IP licensing agreement with Nvidia. The round was led by Disruptive, a Dallas-based late-stage investment firm whose founder Alex Davis also serves as Groq’s chairman, alongside Fort Lauderdale hedge fund Infinitum. The raise comes roughly six […]
OpenAI has just revealed a new "intelligence processor" chip for AI servers made in partnership with Broadcom. The chip, called Jalapeño, is designed to power current and future large language models, according to an announcement on Wednesday. Jalapeño is an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), meaning it's designed for a specific purpose: AI inference. With AI inference, models process a user's request to run an agent like Codex or offer a response from ChatGPT, while AI training involves a model consuming vast amounts of data to inform its responses. It comes just nine months after OpenAI revealed that it would team up with Br … Read the full story at The Verge.
