Jim Keller on AI, RISC-V, Tenstorrent’s Move to Edge IP

Re:Jim Keller on AI, RISC-V, Tenstorrent’s Move to Edge IP by tikkun on Tuesday June 13, 2023 @10:21AM (#36310595)

I have a list of some I'm keeping tabs on, I'll share it here. I do it out of a combination of personal obsession plus because I want to source angel investments.

Note though that I'm very biased toward AI companies...

Most established, clear product-market fit:

- OpenAI

- Midjourney

- Character ai

- Runway ML

Ones that are interesting:

- Adept AI

- Modal, Banana.dev

- new.computer

- Magic.dev

- Modular (Mojo)

- tiny corp

- Galileo

- Hippo ML

- Tenstorrent

- contextual.ai

- Chroma

- e2b.dev

- Steamship

- Patterns.app

- GGML

Ones that I want to learn more about before deciding:

- Inflection AI

- GetLindy

- Embra

- Jam.dev

- Vocode.dev

That's about 50% of my list. Happy to clean up the rest and write a post if there's interest

I'd also be interested to see the list of companies that you've written off.

How about Untether?

They're developing a near-memory inference accelerator that looks pretty interesting.

Add Nnaisense (https://nnaisense.com/) maybe to the list.

What does Nnaisense do except being generic AI consultancy with Schmidhubers name on it?

I‘m not sure about them, they seem more like a research + consulting shop than working on products

What about Anthropic?

Anthropic feels super underrated. From my experience, Claude+ is on par with GPT-4, 100k context model is amazing, but because they don't have a product exposed to the public, they don't have to burn billions of $ on things like ChatGPT.

Also there's a chance they might avoid some cases of direct regulation and local bans since they are under media radar.

They also seem to have a pretty sweet deal with AWS going on.

Esperanto is doing (unless they have folded/pivoted since I last checked) RISC-V HW with an AI focus, heavily using the RISC-V vector extension.

Solid sample. Let's see the list!

I first heard of TensTorrent from Dr. Ian Cutress's YT channel TechTechPotato. https://youtu.be/AFVDZeg4RVY

It's a good source for trends in hardware.

Anandtech has now lost its touch without Ian and some of the older staff. Such a piece of history now...

Sally Foxton-Ward and Ian Cuttress started a podcast (only 2 episodes so far I think) listing through companies and what they do. I agree it is very hard to follow with companies coming and going.

I have been wondering the same thing; scouring Wellfound seems to yield little of interest, for example.

> How does one keep tabs on startups?

Keep an eye on notable people! They are the one driving the trends, industry direction, and narratives.

You can also create Google Alerts. I'm sure there are other alternates as well. https://www.google.com/alerts

And, in general - read news!
