Cloud provider Nebius is acquiring 20-person startup Eigen AI, which optimizes chip performance for running (not training) AI models.
Nebius Group NV said it will acquire Eigen AI, a California startup focused on improving the performance of chips used to run AI models, in a deal valued at about $643 million in stock and cash.
