Ampere and Qualcomm aren’t the most obvious of partners. Both, after all, offer Arm-based chips for running data center servers (though Qualcomm’s largest market remains mobile). But as the two companies announced today, they are now combining forces to offer an AI-focused server that uses Ampere’s CPUs and Qualcomm’s Cloud AI 100 Ultra AI inferencing chips for running — not training — models. Like every other chip manufacturer, Ampere is looking to profit from the AI boom. The company’s focus, however, has always been on fast and power-efficient server chips, so while it can use the Arm IP to add some of these features to its chips, it’s not necessarily a core competency. That’s why Ampere decided to work with Qualcomm (and SuperMicro to integrate the two solutions), Arm CTO Jeff Wittich tells me. “The idea here is that while I’ll show you some great performance for Ampere CPUs running AI inferencing on just the CPUs, if you want to scale out to even bigger models — multi-100 billion ...

The CX Challenge: From Data Deluge to Personalized Insights Improving the customer experience has always been concerning for businesses, and the problem comes with harnessing those vast volumes generated through every interaction – web clicks, social network engagements, problem-solving conversations, and others.  Usually, such data deluge is scattered and unstructured making it difficult to extract meaningful insights needed for strategic CX decisions.

Danti, an artificial intelligence company building a superpower search engine for Earth data, has brought on prominent defensive tech investor Shield Capital as it looks to scale its technology for government customers. Founded by Jesse Kallman in early 2023, Danti has developed a natural language search engine for data that has historically been highly siloed, like satellite imagery, collating it with other commercial and government sources to report back across multiple sources and domains. For example, an analyst can pose a complex question in simple language, like “What are the latest tank movements in Eastern Ukraine?” and receive in turn straightforward answers collated across data sources. The idea is to empower a single analyst to do more, Kallman said in a recent interview. While American adversaries are throwing manpower at the problem of analyzing huge amounts of data, Danti aims to help “one analyst do the work of 10 or 15,” he said. It means that a relatively straightforwa...
