Microsoft-backed d-Matrix unveils its first AI chip for handling chatbot and video generation tasks, with full shipments expected next year.
Silicon Valley startup d-Matrix has received $160 million in funding, including an investment from Microsoft’s venture capital arm MSFT.O, for a new AI chip it expects to deliver by next year. Based in Santa Clara, CA, and backed by the tech giant Microsoft, d-Matrix has invited customers to test its new AI inference hardware, Corsair, which is focused on generative models’ interactions with end users. The chip is designed to meet the requirements of AI end-user service delivery, such as chatbots and video generators.
Nvidia has been dominating the AI chips market in recent years.
