  • Baseten, an AI inference startup, is reportedly close to finalizing a $1.5 billion funding round, just months after its last major investment. This "inference gold rush" is driving innovation and investment in the sector.
  • Snap, the maker of Snapchat, has spun off its AI video team into a new company called Dotmo, citing costs as a major factor. This move reflects the growing importance of AI in video development.
  • Match, the dating app giant, has released data showing that almost half of US singles feel negatively about AI in dating. However, many users are open to AI-driven profile enhancements and conversation starters.
  • Amazon is reportedly planning to sell its AI chips to other data centers, a move that could challenge Nvidia's dominance in the market. This represents a $50 billion opportunity for Amazon, according to CEO Andy Jassy.
  • The US government has mandated a "fast lane" for AI data centers to connect to the grid, but failed to address underlying electricity supply shortages.
