Beating AI News: UK-based AI chip startup Fractile has secured $720 million in Series C funding, pushing its post-money valuation to $7 billion. In May this year, the firm had just raised $220 million at a valuation of roughly $1.1 billion. In less than six months, its valuation has surged 6.4-fold. What makes the company particularly notable is that it has not yet launched a mass-produced chip, yet it has drawn investments from prominent firms including Founders Fund, Google’s CapitalG, and Lightspeed, with even the UK government’s sovereign AI fund participating. Fractile aims to address the memory bottleneck in AI inference. Every token generated by large models requires repeated reads of model parameters and context. Even if a chip has strong computing power, if memory transfer speed lags, the compute units will be forced to wait for data. Fractile’s solution is to stack custom DRAM memory directly on top of compute chips, rather than placing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) alongside chips as mainstream GPUs do. The firm aims to significantly boost data transfer speeds while retaining large memory capacity. Founder Walter Goodwin claims the design could accelerate AI inference response speeds by 10x. Partnership rumors between Fractile and Anthropic have also circulated. In August this year, Bloomberg cited sources familiar with the matter as saying the two sides had reached a preliminary chip purchase agreement worth around $250 million. However, the Financial Times’ latest report is more cautious, stating only that Anthropic intends to be an early customer. Fractile plans to deliver its first batch of chips and systems in 2027.

According to CNBC, Nvidia’s stock price dropped more than 8% in after-hours trading on November 11 (Eastern Time). Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board of directors was preparing to remove co-founder Jensen Huang from his CEO post, with discussions on his possible ouster possibly taking place as early as that day. The New York Times reported the same day that Huang had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare who reports directly to him. The paper also previously reported that the board was investigating another extramarital relationship Huang had admitted to, involving an executive from Singaporean cloud computing firm Megaspeed. Jim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager and CNBC host, said that if Huang steps down, many investors may no longer be willing to hold Nvidia shares. However, he currently has no plans to add to his position amid sell-offs, nor does he plan to sell ahead of Nvidia’s earnings report on November 17 (Eastern Time). Using Apple’s example of continuing to thrive under Tim Cook after Steve Jobs’ death, Cramer argued that Nvidia could still achieve long-term success even without Huang. He also mentioned Ian Buck, the vice president who co-created CUDA, noting that the company has internal talent to handle potential leadership vacancies. Cramer added that he is currently more bullish on AMD, has added it to his watchlist, plans to build a position once trading restrictions are lifted, and intends to exit his Intel holdings.

According to EmberCN’s monitoring, Arthur Hayes transferred a total of $3 million in USDC to over-the-counter (OTC) platforms Flowdesk and Galaxy Digital approximately 10 minutes ago. Half a month prior, Hayes liquidated at least $49.25 million worth of various altcoins, noting he planned to wait for the market to fall further before buying the dip. The tokens have generally declined 15% to 30% since his sell-off, with the latest transfer likely serving as preparation for the dip purchase.
