I do love the Korean coverage!

Thanks, ! Thanks !

Samsung joined a $231 million Series A round for Euclyd, a Dutch startup designing AI inference chips on an architecture unlike Nvidia's GPUs.

Bert did a thorough, great job, as always.

Nederlandse chipontwerpbedrijven breken internationaal door. Na Fortaegis en Axelera AI zien investeerders brood in de start-up die chips bouwt speciaal voor AI-toepassingen.

Nice writeup, Kai, thanks!

Dutch startup Euclyd raised the funding in a round co-led by Samsung, Somerset Capital Partners, the Scaleup Europe Fund and Innovation Industries.

Since my last post, I got several questions—both on social media and privately—about what exactly I did to restore the old Mac. Instead of individual replies, I thought I'd just jot down a brief report with plenty of photos:

I added a little modern technology to the old Macintosh 128K this weekend, for convenience, so the younger folks at Euclyd can actually bear to try and use this little thing ;-).

This fully-restored little jewel is going to grace the brand-new offices of Euclyd from September ;-).

For reasons beyond my understanding, Google has blocked my website thebyteattic.com (hosted by Blogger) because of alleged malware (!). The block was as arbitrary as the alleged reason for it, which is totally absurd. I can't even access the system to create a backup of years of material, which may be all lost; it's insane. I appealed the block but the process is anything but transparent, so I intend to move all my web presence away from Blogger as soon as I get time to deal with it. Apologies for the broken links.

This is some careful and well-researched reporting by Bert van Dijk. If you don't read Dutch, auto-translate usually works very well. You can pass the Paywall by simply giving your name and email address, and read it for free.

De Eindhovense chipontwerper Euclyd is bezig €100 mln op te halen voor de productie van een ‘honderd keer efficiëntere AI-chip dan Nvidia’.
