AMD just bought Toronto-based Taalas, a startup that etches trained AI model weights into a chip's metal layers β no loading, no copying. Their HC1 chip runs all of Llama 3.1 8B at roughly 17,000 tokens per second at 200W. Taalas had raised $219M since founding in 2023. Will model-specific silicon become the next big shift in AI inference?
Spot Bitcoin ETFs raked in $853.54M in net inflows between Aug 3β7, with BlackRockβs IBIT capturing the overwhelming majority. That marks six consecutive days without a single day of outflows β the longest unbroken streak in months. BTC held near $65K after a weak July jobs report cooled rate-hike fears and sparked fresh institutional buying. Not financial advice. ETF momentum is clearly building β do you think itβs enough to push BTC through $70K? #crypto #bitcoin
