Big tech companies, which have been spending hundreds of trillions of won on chips, should be nervous about news reported early this morning. Two startups taking the exact opposite approach—asking, "Do we really have to brutally grind expensive semiconductors and electricity just to build AI?"—made a huge splash simultaneously today. 1. "A child learns to speak after reading just a few books, so why does AI have to read half the internet?" — A 1-year-old startup rakes in 1.4 trillion KRW (Bloomberg report) - Until now, the rule in the AI industry has been simple: To make a smarter AI, you unconditionally need hundreds of thousands more NVIDIA chips, massive data centers, and brute force powered by money and electricity. - However, according to Bloomberg today, 'Flapping Airplanes', a just 1-year-old startup founded by Stanford PhD brothers and a researcher from Elon Musk's neural chip company 'Neuralink', was valued at about 8.4 trillion KRW ($6 billion) and swept up about 1.4 trillion KRW ($1 billion) in investment in one go.
