Gimlet Labs Raises $80M to Solve AI Inference Bottleneck
Startup Gimlet Labs has secured an $80 million Series A funding round to tackle one of AI's biggest hurdles: the inference bottleneck. The company's innovative technology allows a single AI model to run inference simultaneously across a diverse mix of hardware chips, including those from NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, ARM, Cerebras, and d-Matrix. This approach elegantly addresses the industry's reliance on scarce, single-type GPUs by enabling efficient computation on whatever hardware is available. By abst
