FuriosaAI unveils AI chip to challenge Nvidia in inference

FuriosaAI unveiled its second-generation artificial intelligence chip, Renegade, or RNGD, targeting a fast shift in the industry from model training to cost-heavy inference, Thursday. The new chip, which kicked off mass production in January, is designed to handle high volumes of real-time AI queries at lower power and cost. “By 2030, we expect roughly 100 gigawatts of AI data center capacity to be added globally, with about 70 percent allocated to inference,” said FuriosaAI CEO Paik June-ho at
