    TLDR

    AMD chief executive Lisa Su posted that the company agreed to acquire Taalas. The announcement came after Taalas shared a demo of its first tape-out reaching 15k tokens per second on an 8B Llama model. Visible replies on X include congratulations from founders and investors, plus comments on Quiet Capital's stake and returns. A link to the demo appears at chatjimmy.ai. No further details on deal terms or timeline were posted in the packet.

    @taalas_incWe are pleased to share that Taalas has agreed to join AMD. We built Taalas to rethink AI inference from the ground up: hardware designed around the model, rather than the other way around. The result is the world's fastest and most cost-effective inference silicon. Joining AMD gives us the scale, engineering resources, and global reach to bring that work to the world – and to accelerate what comes after it. We are also excited to build on AMD's long-standing presence in Canada and its continued commitment to the country's AI ecosystem. Many of us grew up at AMD Canada, and are looking forward to coming home. We are proud of what this team has built, and even more excited about what comes next. https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1296/amd-acquires-taalas-to-advance-compute-solutions-for-rapidly-growing-ai-inference-market
    @EMostaqueTaalas buried the lede for the amazing demo of their first tape out. 15k tokens per second with a llama 8b model, ability to scale that up etched onto silicon As models satisfice etching makes sense, particularly ternary.. Try it out https://chatjimmy.ai Bullish for $AMD
    @zephyr_z9Good acquisition from AMD
    @jeffreyhubercongrats to the Taalas team!
    @LisaSuExcited to announce our agreement to acquire @taalas_inc. Phenomenal team working at the bleeding edge of AI inference. Looking forward to all we will do together.

    @rrhooverLow key big win for Quiet Capital. They doubled down in every round. Owned 35%+. Will return 10-figures to LPs.
    @TurnerNovak@rrhoover Baller move
