$1.5B Capital raised

Tenstorrent, uma startup de chips focada em inferência, levantou $1.5 billion com uma avaliação de $6.2 billion. A rodada ocorre cinco meses após a desafiante da Nvidia de 10 anos de idade supostamente ter recebido interesse de aquisição da Intel e Qualcomm em avaliações de até $5 billion.

A nova rodada, que mais que dobrou a avaliação da Tenstorrent em relação aos $2.6 billion que obteve no final de 2024, foi liderada pela Trace Capital, uma nova empresa lançada pelo cofundador da Quiet Capital, Ben Mahdavi, e pela Innovation X. Outros apoiadores incluíram Cadence Ventures, Eclipse, Fidelity, SanDisk e T. Rowe Price.

Jim Keller, um proeminente engenheiro de microprocessadores e CEO da Tenstorrent, disse à Bloomberg que a empresa decidiu permanecer independente e levantar mais capital após demonstrar que seus servidores Galaxy poderiam rodar modelos DeepSeek. O novo capital será destinado ao escalonamento de chips personalizados para servir modelos de IA de pesos abertos e geração de vídeo.

A Tenstorrent faz parte de uma onda de startups de hardware de IA que tentam diminuir o domínio da Nvidia. Entre elas está a Etched, uma fabricante de chips de IA que estava recebendo ofertas de investimento em avaliações de $40 billion ou mais, conforme relatado pelo TechCrunch no início deste mês.

Why this matters

The $1.5 billion raise gives Tenstorrent substantial resources to develop and deploy alternative AI inference hardware, a strategically important layer of AI infrastructure. Its decision to remain independent could increase competitive pressure on incumbent chip suppliers, though translating funding into meaningful market share remains uncertain.
