(Reuters) -TensorWave, a Las Vegas-based startup, announced on Wednesday that it has secured $100 million in the latest funding round, as it aims to capitalize on the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market.
The company, however, did not disclose the valuation at which the funding was raised.
The Series A funding round was led by Magnetar and AMD Ventures along with participation from existing partners, including Maverick Silicon and Nexus Venture Partners, and new investor Prosperity7.
With the growing demand for AI computing resources, companies such as TensorWave are emerging as key players by offering the tools and infrastructure required to efficiently train AI models and optimize workloads.
"The funding comes at a time when the AI infrastructure market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with recent industry reports projecting the AI infrastructure market to exceed $400 billion by 2027", the company said.
With the latest fundraise, the startup plans to scale operations, expand its team and accelerate the deployment of AMD-powered GPU clusters tailored for AI model training.
"This $100M funding propels TensorWave's mission to democratize access to cutting-edge AI compute," said TensorWave CEO Darrick Horton.

Nvidia, HPE to build new supercomputer in Germany

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Nvidia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise said on Tuesday they are partnering with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to build a new supercomputer using Nvidia's next-generation chips. The Blue Lion supercomputer, as the project is called, will become available to scientists in early 2027, using Nvidia's "Vera Rubin" chips. The announcement, made at a supercomputing conference in Hamburg, Germany, follows Nvidia's announcement that the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in the United States also plans to build a system using the chips next year. Separately, Nvidia also said that Jupiter, another supercomputer using its chips at German national research institute Forschungszentrum Julich, has officially become Europe's fastest system. The deals represent European institutions aiming to stay competitive against the U.S. in supercomputers used for scientific fields from biotechnology to climate research. Long before it became an artificial intelligence powerhouse, Nvidia set out to persuade scientists to use its chips to speed up complex computer problems, such as modeling climate change. Those problems required many precise calculations that could take months ata time. Nvidia is now working to persuade scientists to use artificial intelligence. Those AI systems can take the results of a few precise calculations and use them to make predictions that, while not as accurate as the fully calculated results, can still be useful while taking far less time. Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled what it calls its "Climate in a Bottle" AI model. In a press briefing, Dion Harris, head of data center product marketing at Nvidia, said scientists will be able to input a few initial conditions such as sea surface temperatures and generate a forecast for 10 to 30 years in the future and see what the weather may be like at any kilometer or so of the earth's surface. "Researchers will use combined approach of classic physics and AIto resolve turbulent atmospheric flows," Harris said. "This technique will allow them to analyze thousands and thousands more scenarios in greater detail than ever before." (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco; Editing by Lincoln Feast.)

EU will propose more flexibility for defence procurement, commissioner says

REUTERS/Bart Biesemans/File Photo BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Commission will propose next week to give governments more flexibility on defence procurement and make access to European funding easier, European Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said on Tuesday. "Without this simplification, nothing else in defence readiness will be possible to achieve," Kubilius told a conference in Brussels. "Putin will not wait for us to get our paperwork in order," he added. The European defence industry has raised concerns about EU red tape and delays in accessing funds. The proposal, expected to be presented on June 17, will aim to address some of these complaints. "We intend to give more flexibility to member states in common procurements, more flexibility on framework agreements, and we intend to facilitate innovation procurement," he said, adding that the Commission also wants to make access to the bloc's defence fund "easier". The commissioner said it would also be important to look at other rules that impact defence, pointing to permits, reporting obligations, competition rules and sustainable finance. Kubilius said the Commission will propose simplifying a directive on defence procurement and a directive on intra-EU transfers of defence products. (Reporting by Lili Bayer, editing by Bart Meijer)

Huawei founder says chips still lag ‘one generation' behind US
BEIJING: Chinese tech giant Huawei's chips still 'lag behind the United States by one generation', state media quoted its founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei as saying in a rare interview on Tuesday. Washington last month unveiled fresh guidelines warning firms that using Chinese-made high-tech AI semiconductors, specifically Huawei's Ascend chips, would put them at risk of violating US export controls. The Shenzhen-based company has been at the centre of an intense standoff between the economic supergiants after Washington warned its equipment could be used for espionage byBeijing, an allegation Huawei denies. Speaking to the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, 80-year-old Ren insisted the United States had 'exaggerated' Huawei's achievements. Tougher controls in recent years have prevented US chip giant Nvidia, one of Huawei's rivals, from selling certain AI semiconductors -- widely regarded as the most advanced in the world -- to Chinese firms. As a result, it is now facing tougher competition from local players in the crucial market, including Huawei. Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang told reporters last month that Chinese companies 'are very, very talented and very determined, and the export control gave them the spirit, the energy and the government support to accelerate their development'. But Ren said Huawei was 'not that great yet', according to the article published on the newspaper's front page Tuesday. 'Many companies in China are making chips, and quite a few are doing well -- Huawei is just one of them,' he added. When asked about 'external blockades and suppression' -- a veiled reference to US export restrictions on Beijing -- Ren said he had 'never thought about it'. 'Don't dwell on the difficulties, just get the job done and move forward step by step,' he added. Sanctions since 2019 have curtailed the firm's access to US-made components and technologies, forcing it to diversify its growth strategy. China has accused the United States of 'bullying' and 'abusing export controls to suppress and contain' the country's firms.
