(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.

General Mills mulls sale of Haagen-Dazs stores in China
Haagen-Dazs ice cream will continue to be sold in Chinese supermarkets and convenience stores. (AFP pic) MINNEAPOLIS : General Mills is considering selling its Haagen-Dazs ice cream stores in China, Bloomberg News reported today, citing people familiar with the matter. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company may seek several hundred million dollars for the assets in a sale process that could begin this year, the report added. The discussions are in early stages and the company may not pursue a sale, the report said, adding that General Mills intends to continue selling Haagen-Dazs in places such as supermarkets and convenience stores in China. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. General Mills did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for a comment. General Mills has been undergoing a restructuring and said last month that it would record a charge of about US$70 million in its current quarter. The restructuring efforts, estimated at around US$130 million, are expected to be completed by the end of its fiscal year 2028. Packaged food companies including McCormick, General Mills and Conagra Brands have faced slowing demand as sticky inflation has compelled budget-conscious customers to hunt for value even for essential items such as groceries.

APS's Apac facility in Shah Alam gets CAAM approval
KUALA LUMPUR: APS, a global leader in aircraft propeller maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), has received certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) for its Asia-Pacific facility in Shah Alam, Selangor. The CAAM certification is a key milestone in preparing the Malaysia facility to serve as APS' regional centre of excellence for propeller MRO services, and it confirms that APS meets the aviation regulatory standards required to carry out maintenance work in Malaysia. This milestone comes ahead of the facility's opening, which is scheduled to take place later this month. The Selangor-based facility will serve as APS' regional base and centre for specialised propeller MRO services to support operators across Asia Pacific. APS' Malaysia facility previously received certification by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), further reinforcing the company's commitment to meeting international regulatory standards. APS Asia Pacific managing director Fergus Lopez said: 'This approval reflects the dedication of our Malaysia-based team and the strength of our internal systems. We are now in a strong position to begin supporting operators across the region with high-quality MRO services.' Meanwhile, APS CEO Daniel Colbert remarked: 'Securing CAAM certification is a major step forward for APS in Asia Pacific. It allows us to bring our maintenance capabilities closer to customers in Southeast Asia and build long-term support capacity in the region.' The Asia Pacific region currently accounts for 37% of the global ATR fleet and is projected to require nearly 1,000 additional turboprop aircraft over the next two decades. The new facility is positioned to meet this growing demand and help establish Malaysia as a key aviation MRO centre in the region.

Meta to pay nearly $15 billion for Scale AI stake, The Information reports
FILE PHOTO: Meta logo is seen in this illustration taken, August 22, 2022. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/ File Photo (Reuters) -Meta Platforms has agreed to take a 49% stake in artificial intelligence startup Scale AI for $14.8 billion, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter. Founded in 2016, Scale AI provides vast amounts of labeled data or curated training data, which is crucial for developing sophisticated tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. The deal, which has not been finalized yet, appears to be beneficial for Scale AI's investors including Accel, Index Ventures, Founders Fund and Greenoaks, as well as its current and former employees, the report said. Meta, Scale AI and the startup's investors did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. As part of the deal, Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang will take a top position inside Meta, leading a new "superintelligence" lab, according to the report. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been actively recruiting top AI researchers to boost the company's AI efforts, the report said. The company is fighting the perception that it may have fallen behind in the AI race after its initial set of Llama 4 large language models released in April fell short of performance expectations. Meta delayed the release of its flagship "Behemoth" AI model due to concerns about its capabilities, the Wall Street Journal reported last month. The company is also facing antitrust concerns related to its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. According to The Information report, the structure for the potential deal with Scale AI could be designed to avoid more regulatory scrutiny. Scale AI was valued at $13.8 billion in a funding round last spring. It generated about $870 million in revenue in 2024 and expects more than $2 billion this year, the report said. The company had more than $900 million of cash on its balance sheet at the end of last year, according to the report.
