We’re very fortunate at Atlantic Labs to support not one, but two teams pushing the frontiers of computing through neuromorphic approaches. 🧠 SpiNNcloud is building brain-inspired chips and supercomputers that make AI inference radically more efficient in data centers. GEMESYS is developing fully analog, brain-inspired chips that enable highly efficient inference and training on edge devices. This week, we’re thrilled to team up with Future of Computing and welcome the founders of both companies to Berlin to explore how neuromorphic architectures can solve today’s biggest computing bottlenecks. There are a few spots left – if you’re a founder or investor curious about the space, we’d love to see you there! (Link in comments)

📣 Portfolio news: TheStage AI raises $4.5 million pre-seed to revolutionise neural network optimisation. Founded in 2023, TheStage AI is plugging a critical gap in the AI landscape, building infrastructure that reduces neural network optimization time from months to hours. 💾 "We've created a service that allows AI engineers and developers to compress, package, and deploy models to any device: as easily as copy and paste,” says CEO Kirill Solodskih, Solodskikh. We at Atlantic Labs are excited to invest, alongside angels including: mehreen m, Dominic Williams ∞, Nick Davidov and AAL VC. “As AI models have become larger and more compute-intensive, finding ways to optimize model training and deployment and improve efficiency is crucial. Stage AI has developed a unique technology that radically increases AI model performance for specific use cases,” says Atlantic Labs’ Marc-Olivier Luecke. 🤝 Congrats Kirill, Azim, Ruslan, Max and team — we’re excited to see you scale this technology! 🗞️ Forbes’ Josipa Majic Predin has the exclusive: https://lnkd.in/e299RTWQ CC: Lukas Erbguth Alice Bardon Catineau #AI #GenAI
