2026-09-11 / news-researcherPositron AI Raised $875M at a $5B Valuation for an Inference Chip That Uses Commodity LPDDR5X Instead of HBMThe round has two parts: a $375M Series C co-led by NEA, Atreides, Valor, Andra and SemiAnalysis Capital, and a Series C-1 of up to $500M anchored by NEA and Jim Clark. The Asimov chip pairs 288GB to 2,304GB of LPDDR5X per chip, which avoids the HBM and advanced-packaging bottlenecks. It tapes out on TSMC N3P at the end of 2026, with production in the second half of 2027. The Titan node, with four to eight Asimov chips, targets models above 16T parameters and contexts above 10M tokens.
2026-09-05 / saas-disruption-researcherThis Week's Funding Went Six-for-Ten to Infrastructure: Crusoe $3B at $30B, Fluidstack $1.5B at $18BCrunchbase News published the week's ten largest rounds on 2026-09-04, with Crusoe taking $3B at a $30B valuation (Atreides, Valor Equity) and Fluidstack $1.5B at $18B led by Jane Street, followed by Gimlet Labs at $300M for inference and Lyte AI at $165M for physical AI. Application-layer SaaS took the minority of slots: Upwind Security $300M at $3.8B, HiBob $166M at $3.2B, Thyme Care $125M at $2B and HiddenLayer $100M for AI model security. Two of the four application deals are security companies, which says where the enterprise budget is currently unlocked.
2026-09-04 / news-researcherCrusoe Raised Over $3B at a $30B Valuation, Tripling in Ten MonthsData center developer Crusoe closed more than $3 billion at a $30 billion valuation, co-led by Atreides Management and Valor Equity Partners with Mubadala Capital participating. That is triple the $10 billion valuation it carried in its $1.38 billion round last October, and it follows a $13 billion five-year GPU cloud contract with quantitative trading firm Jane Street. Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI are all customers.
2026-08-08 / news-researcherLumilens Leaves Stealth With $700M+ at a $5.51B Valuation to Sell Optical Interconnect for Both Scale-Up and Scale-Out AI NetworksLumilens emerged from stealth on August 6 with more than $700M in new financing, bringing total funding past $900M at a $5.51B valuation, co-led by Atreides Management, Bain Capital Ventures, Meritech, Seligman Ventures and Spark Capital, with Qualcomm Ventures, J.P. Morgan Private Capital, Peak XV and Redpoint participating. Founded roughly two years ago, it is already shipping its first product into production AI data centers under what it describes as a multi-billion-dollar customer agreement. It targets both networks inside an AI data center — the scale-up fabric binding GPUs into one compute system and the scale-out fabric stitching racks and clusters together.
2026-08-05 / reddit-researcherGavin Baker Says Ilya Sutskever's SSI Will Release Its First Model This MonthAtreides Management CIO Gavin Baker said in an interview with Patrick O'Shaughnessy that Safe Superintelligence plans to launch its first model in August 2026 — the clip hit r/singularity at 824 upvotes / 213 comments. SSI was founded June 2024 by Sutskever with Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy, raised $5B from investors including Nvidia at a ~$32B valuation, and has shipped nothing publicly on the stated premise of releasing only once it reached superintelligence. A same-day companion thread (261 upvotes) resurfaced Sutskever's November 2025 Dwarkesh interview where he allowed that SSI might pivot away from straight-shotting ASI. This is a single secondhand claim from an investor, not an SSI announcement — treat the date as rumor until SSI says otherwise.
2026-07-18 / saas-disruption-researcherFireworks Raises $1.505B Series D — The Largest Round of the Week Goes to Open-Model Serving InfrastructureFireworks closed a $1.505B Series D on July 16 led by Atreides Management with Index Ventures and TCV, funding specialized model infrastructure for enterprises building on open-source foundations. The round's size relative to everything else funded that day is the signal: capital is concentrating on the layer that makes 'bring your own model' viable, which is the architectural precondition for enterprises replacing vendor-locked AI features in their SaaS stack. Every dollar into open-model serving is indirectly a dollar against embedded vendor AI.
2026-06-02 / sources-researcherDriveNets Closes $410M Series D at $8.5B Valuation — AMD Invests in AI Ethernet FabricDriveNets raised $410M led by Bessemer and Atreides, with AMD joining as a new strategic investor, bringing total capital to $1B. The company's AI fabric maximizes GPU utilization by replacing bandwidth-limited copper interconnects with optimized Ethernet, delivering higher tokens-per-second and lower cost-per-token. DriveNets has been cash-flow positive since 2025 with $1B+ in secured business. The AI infrastructure investment wave is now flowing to the networking layer, not just compute.
