INTEL VETERANS RAISE $100 MILLION TO HELP DIFFERENT AI CHIPS WORK TOGETHER

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

Delos Data, founded by Intel veterans, raised $100 million led by Matrix Partners and Playground to build networking chips and software that move data faster between processors inside increasingly heterogeneous AI data centers. Early AI data centers were mostly Nvidia GPUs wired together with Nvidia's own proprietary networking, but as the focus has shifted from training toward running persistent, failure-tolerant agentic inference workloads, data centers now mix GPUs, XPUs, accelerators, CPUs, memory, and storage from Nvidia, AMD, Cerebras, and others, none of which were designed to talk to each other efficiently at that scale.
