Microsoft-backed startup D-Matrix launches its first AI chip
Washington Washington. Silicon Valley startup D-Matrix said on Tuesday it is shipping its first AI chip aimed at providing services like chat bots and video generators. D-Matrix, which has so far raised $160 million from Microsoft's venture capital arm Said that early customers are testing sample chips, and full shipments are expected next year. The Santa Clara, California-based company did not name any specific customers, but said Super Micro Computer will sell servers that can hold D-Matrix chips.
D-Matrix aims to complement AI chip giants like Nvidia, whose chips are used to train AI systems on large amounts of data. Once the system is trained, D-matrix chips are intended to handle large numbers of requests from end users of the system, called inference. D-matrix chips are typically designed simultaneously on a single chip. Designed to help handle a lot of user requests, even if those users keep asking the AI system for new answers or changes to the video they've asked the system to create.
“We're getting a lot of interest in video use cases, where customers come to us and say, 'Hey, look, we want to make videos, and we want to help users,'” said Sid Sheth, chief executive officer of D-Martix. Want a collection that all interacts with their respective videos?'”
It is worth noting that this development comes soon after the tech giant hosted its Ignite 2024 conference, in which the company had announced more opportunities for its generative AI-based assistant, Copilot. Microsoft announced that Copilot Actions in Microsoft 365 are now available in private preview. The company says that this feature will enable users to complete every day tasks using Copilot.
The company wrote, “CoPilot Actions, now in private preview, enables anyone to automate everyday tasks with simple, fill-in-the-blank prompts, whether it's getting a daily summary of meeting actions in Microsoft Teams, Be it compiling weekly reports or receiving an email upon returning from vacation summarizing missed meetings, chats and emails.” Additionally, the company also announced the launch of Azure AI Foundary, which aims to provide companies with access to all existing Azure AI services and the Azure AI Agent service.
