Intel, SambaNova Bet on Split Inference as Agentic AI Strains GPUs SambaNova and Intel are rolling out a new heterogeneous inference architecture aimed at a growing pressure point in enterprise AI: running agentic workloads at scale without over-relying on GPUs. The design splits inference across three layers – GPUs for prefill, SambaNova’s reconfigurable dataflow units (RDUs) for decode, and Intel Xeon 6 CPUs for agent execution and orchestration – reflecting a broader shift away from monolithic GPU systems. The push comes as enterprises run into rising inference costs, power constraints, and underutilized GPU capacity, forcing a rethink of GPU-heavy designs. The offering, slated for availability in the second half of 2026, targets enterprises, cloud providers, and sovereign AI deployments building coding agents and other multi-step systems. The Bottleneck Shifts From Training to Execution The premise is less about replacing GPUs and more about where they fall short. GPUs remain effective at parallel prompt processing, but agentic AI introduces workloads that are less uniform and more dependent on coordination, tool use, and real-time decision-making. “Agentic AI is moving into production – and the winning pattern we’re seeing is GPUs to start the job, Intel Xeon 6 to run it, and SambaNova RDUs to finish it fast,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO of SambaNova,...

'Inference Is Bigger Than Any One Chip' - d-Matrix CEO on GigaIO Deal A push to build more complete, rack-scale AI inference systems is driving d-Matrix’s acquisition of GigaIO’s data center business. The deal adds interconnect technology and systems expertise as competition shifts beyond individual chips. The deal builds on a collaboration that began in 2025 and is aimed at strengthening the company’s ability to deliver system-level AI infrastructure rather than discrete silicon. Expanding Beyond the Chip With the acquisition, GigaIO’s data center technologies, which include its SuperNode platform and FabreX PCIe-based memory fabric, are being integrated into the broader d-Matrix inference stack. The move extends a platform that already includes Corsair inference accelerators, JetStream networking, Aviator software, and the SquadRack rack-scale reference architecture developed with Broadcom and Arista. “Inference is bigger than any one chip. It’s now a systems problem,” said Sid Sheth, founder and CEO of d-Matrix. “To keep up with surging AI demand, workloads are increasingly disaggregated across CPUs, GPUs, and inference accelerators. That means data must move efficiently across chips, nodes, racks, and entire data centers in real time.” He said the acquisition aims to accelerate delivery of low-latency, efficient, and scalable infrastructure. Deal Structure and Strategic Rationale The transaction is structured as a business unit acquisition, with ownership...

Rebellions Raises $400M to Scale AI Inference, Targets US Expansion Rebellions has raised $400 million in a pre-IPO funding round as the AI infrastructure market pivots from model training to a new bottleneck – the efficiency of running those models in production. The South Korea–based AI hardware startup is betting that inference will define the next phase of AI adoption, where power constraints, cost-efficiency, and deployment timelines outweigh raw compute performance. The round, led by Mirae Asset Financial Group with participation from the Korea National Growth Fund, brings the company’s total funding to $850 million and values it at roughly $2.34 billion. Rebellions’ rapid fundraising haul ($650 million in just the last six months) signals rapidly rising investor interest in inference. “AI is now measured by its ability to operate in the real world – at scale, under power constraints, and with clear economic return,” said Sunghyun Park, co-founder and CEO of Rebellions. “That shifts the center of gravity toward inference infrastructure and software that makes that infrastructure usable.” Inference Takes Center Stage Rebellions, whose core products include the Rebel-Quad and Atom AI accelerators, is betting that the next phase of AI adoption will be defined less by training breakthroughs and more by how efficiently models can be served in...

AI's infrastructure crunch: Inside CNCF's play to bring order to inference chaos Unpredictable demand, specialized hardware, production-scale complexity — all of it is making AI inference harder to run at enterprise scale. Now, cloud-native open-source infrastructure is emerging as the answer to inference chaos. That shift is already showing up in the Kubernetes ecosystem. In fact, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation has almost doubled the number of approved platforms in its Kubernetes AI Conformance Program, following an over 70% surge in certified offerings, according to Jonathan Bryce (pictured), executive director of cloud and infrastructure at the Linux Foundation. The program creates open, community-defined standards for running AI workloads on Kubernetes, and as organizations increasingly move those workloads into production, they need consistent and interoperable infrastructure. “AI is going to be something that is [going to] drive the next 10, 20 years of technology, the way that cloud did the last 10 or 20 years,” Bryce told theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. “But it’s also a very different workload than what we’ve ever run before. It requires specialized hardware. The usage patterns are super unpredictable … When you talk about bursty [demand spikes] and AI, you could need a thousand times as much capacity and then it goes away.” Bryce spoke with theCUBE’s...

AI Inference: The Next Stress Test for Global Data Center Infrastructure In recent years, AI training has dominated conversations around the global artificial intelligence infrastructure. Massive GPU clusters, data center buildout, and power-hungry models have become shorthand for the scale of the AI era. But AI training is only the warmup act. AI inference, the real test of today’s AI infrastructure, has been waiting in the wings and is now taking center stage. As AI becomes more multimodal and more deeply embedded across digital platforms, inference is emerging as a dominant driver of future network demand. It is also fundamentally shifting how data centers operate globally. To cope with surging inference workloads, the industry must address the critical, yet often overlooked, bottleneck of the network – the optical connectivity that ties the entire fabric together. Growing AI Inference Workloads AI inference is the ‘doing’ phase of the AI model lifecycle. It is when a trained model can process unseen data to provide an answer, generate an image, or carry out a task. Unlike training, which is a highly localized process, inference happens everywhere – across applications, enterprises, and consumer devices. And inference workloads are multiplying as AI adoption surges. While it’s taken decades for previous technologies or digital platforms to be...

India's AI moment will be decided at the inference layer In the last few years, AI has quietly moved from the lab to the balance sheet. McKinsey’s latest global survey finds that 72% of organisations now use AI in at least one business function, and 65% are already using generative AI regularly – roughly double the share in 2023. Menlo Ventures reports that enterprise gen-AI spending jumped from $2.3 billion in 2023 to $13.8 billion in 2024, a six-fold surge as companies shift from pilots to production and pour money into real deployments, especially at the application layer. As AI becomes embedded in a variety of domains, the real contest is no longer about who can train the largest model. It is about which models you run, for which sector, on whose infrastructure. That is the inference layer – the part of the stack where models are served, make decisions, and answer the real questions – and that is why verticalised AI really starts to matter. Verticalised AI: From generic intelligence to sector fluency Gartner reports that enterprise adoption is shifting from experiments with generic LLMs to domain-specific generative AI tailored to particular industries and functions. Venture investors like Bessemer describe “Vertical AI” as the future – AI built ground-up...
