Inflection AI Raises $1.3 bn
Microsoft, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, and Nvidia led a $1.3 billion fundraising round for Inflection AI.
With the support of GPU cloud provider CoreWeave, the generative AI startup claims that it will develop the world’s largest AI cluster, consisting of 22,000 Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs.
Inflection AI is one of several startups working on massive language models, including Microsoft-funded OpenAI and Google-backed Anthropic.
The business created ‘Pi’ in May with the intention of becoming “a kind and supportive companion offering text and voice conversations, friendly advice, and concise information in a natural, flowing style.”
Inflection claims that if it deploys its 22,000 GPU cluster, it will be able to run a system with 22 exaflops in 16-bit precision mode, making it the second most powerful supercomputer on the Top500 list of fastest systems. However, with the Aurora supercomputer on the way and El Capitan on the road, it would most certainly be less powerful than either system.
