Nate Bender on LinkedIn: EnCharge raises $100M+ to accelerate AI using analog chips

Venture Capital Investor at Constellation

I'm thrilled that Constellation Technology Ventures is a part of EnCharge AI’s $100M+ Series B funding! 🎯 This marks one of the largest investments in AI hardware to date - and for good reason. EnCharge's breakthrough technology tackles one of AI's most pressing challenges: the massive energy consumption of AI computation. 80% to 85% of AI power consumption is used for inference calculations. Encharge AI’s analog compute-in-memory architecture dramatically reduces inference power requirements while improving performance. This power reduction enables entirely new AI experiences outside the data center - enhancing security, reducing latency, and lowering costs for everyone. The days of ubiquitous AI embedded in everything are fast approaching. The latest round, led by @Tiger Global, brings EnCharge's total funding to $144M+ and includes strategic partners from consumer electronics, defense, and energy sectors. #AIHardware #TechInvestment #Sustainability #Innovation

...if their innovation is really new hardware, why do they say they're making 'embedded software products'... I get it that any hardware needs software, but the 'everything is software' view seems to me a product of there being so many more software developers in the world than hardware developers... Anyway I've been fantasizing about compute in memory for a long time, it's what our brains do, neat!
