AMD to acquire Taalas, a startup making AI inference chips, boosting its AI hardware lineup.

AMD announced its agreement to acquire Taalas, a Toronto-based startup specializing in AI inference chips that are customized for specific AI models. These chips offer faster and cheaper processing for certain AI tasks compared to traditional GPUs, which AMD currently relies on for most data center growth. The acquisition follows Nvidia's $20 billion purchase of Groq, another AI chip startup, highlighting the competitive push in AI hardware. AMD plans to integrate Taalas' technology into its systems alongside its CPUs and GPUs, enhancing its offerings for low-latency AI applications and supporting its Helios rack-scale AI systems.
