Nvidia AI chip challenger Groq raises even more than expected, hits $6.9B valuation

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-09-18 09:51:42

AI chip startup Groq confirmed Wednesday that it raised a fresh $750 million in funding at a post-money valuation of $6.9 billion. This topped the rumored numbers when word leaked in July that Groq was raising. At that time, reports suggested that the raise would be about $600 million, at near a $6 billion valuation. Groq, which also sells data center computing power, previously raised $640 million at a $2.8 billion valuation in August 2024, making this more than double the valuation in about

CEOs Are Obsessed With AI, But Their Pushes to Use It Keep Ending in Disaster

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-24 16:45:14

There may be nobody else on Earth more excited about AI than CEOs. Driven by a compulsion to cut overhead costs — and avoid the wrath of similarly AI-fixated shareholders — executive teams across the US can’t wait to force AI onto their workforces, consequences be damned. Corporate executives have become giddy at the thought of automating their workforces, boasting about supposed productivity gains as they lay off human workers, who now face one of the worst job markets in recent history.

Heroic Gas Station Clerk Realizes Elderly Women Are Being Scammed at the Bitcoin ATM, Unplugs It to Save Them

One of the core appeals of cryptocurrency — other than providing a get-rich-quick scheme for famous people with huge sway over their followers, like a sitting president or an airheaded influencer — is that it's decentralized and largely unregulated. Of course, that also makes it a breeding ground for fraud. Just ask Boise, Idaho gas station clerk Avalon Hardy.

Amazon wants to build the Echo of AR glasses

TL;DR Amazon is supposedly working on two pairs of AR glasses. A larger, monochrome model could assist its delivery drivers and may debut in the first half of next year. The more compact, color-screen consumer glasses might not arrive until 2027. Amazon’s track record with tech hardware is a bit mixed, to put it lightly.

The term Web3 was originally coined by Etherium cofounder Gavin Wood as a secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer version of the Internet.

Desperate Companies Now Hiring Humans to Fix What AI Botched

For a while now, we've been seeing companies that fired a bunch of their human workers in favor of artificial intelligence move to recoup some of that flesh-and-blood labor.
