Stanford adjunct professor and successfully exited founder Zain Asgar just raised an $80 million Series A for a startup that solve the AI inference bottleneck problem in an astute way. The round was led by Menlo Ventures.
The company, Gimlet Labs, has created what it claims is the first and only “multi-silicon inference cloud” which is software that allows an AI workload to be simultaneously run across diverse types of hardware. It can split an AI app’s work across both traditional CPUs and AI-tuned GPUs, as well as high-memory systems.
