Meta in talks to acquire Korean AI chip startup FuriosaAI

US tech giant Meta is in talks to acquire South Korean AI chip startup FuriosaAI, a deal that could be completed as early as this month. FuriosaAI was founded in 2017 and is led by June Paik, who previously worked at Samsung and AMD. Last August, FuriosaAI launched its AI inference chip RNGD, which it claims has three times the performance per watt of Nvidia's H100.
