Qualcomm is in discussions to acquire AI chip startup Tenstorrent for $8 billion to $10 billion

@steph_palazzolo @validapau biggest test of jim kellers ip licensing model is finally here

qualcomm buying instead of building tells u everything about their arm exit

@zephyr_z9 Sad tough. Tenstorrent has okay software and great hardware.

Qualcomm will destroy much acquiring them.

@steph_palazzolo @validapau @jimkxa @JasminaVas @davorVDR

DON'T SELL JIM!!! STAY INDEPENDENT!!!

(YOU CAN DO *DRASTICALLY* BETTER BY GOING PUBLIC ANYWAY! LOOK AT CEREBRAS!)

WE DESPERATELY NEED STRONG INDEPENDENT COMPANIES FOR THE AI ERA! DON'T GET SWALLOWED BY THE BORG!

SELL IP, NOT THE COMPANY!!

@steph_palazzolo @validapau 👀

@steph_palazzolo @validapau Its hilarious that the dotcom companies are coming back better than ever

@steph_palazzolo @validapau Good for Jim Keller

@steph_palazzolo @validapau wait so tenstorrent went from begging at 3.2b to 10b talks in six months

thats some math i want to understand

@steph_palazzolo @validapau $8-10B for Tenstorrent would value them at roughly 3x their last raise — a steep premium that signals Qualcomm sees Jim Keller’s architecture as a serious bet against the Nvidia CUDA lock-in.

@steph_palazzolo @validapau Se existia uma chance para o mundo open source (hardware), essa chance vai pelo ralo.

@zephyr_z9 The AI chip era will leave behind the most expensive acquihires ever lol
