AMD Challenges Nvidia With Strategic $665M Purchase Of Finnish AI Lab
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) announced its plan to acquire Finnish AI start-up Silo AI for $665 million, marking one of the largest AI takeovers in Europe.
高級微設備公司（納斯達克代碼：AMD）宣佈計劃以66500萬美元收購芬蘭人工智能初創公司Silo AI，這是歐洲最大的人工智能收購之一。
This acquisition aims to bolster AMD's AI services to compete with market leader Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA).
此次收購旨在增強AMD的人工智能服務，以與市場領導者英偉達公司（納斯達克代碼：NVDA）競爭。
The acquisition of Silo AI, expected to close in the second half of this year pending regulatory approval, will bring Silo's 300-member team into AMD's fold to build custom large language models (LLMs), the Financial Times reports.
預計Silo AI的收購將在今年下半年完成，前提是獲得監管批准，這將使Silo的300名團隊成員加入AMD，以構建定製的大型語言模型（LLMs），據《金融時報》報道。
Vamsi Boppana, senior vice president of AMD's AI group, emphasized that the deal will accelerate customer engagements and AMD's AI tech stack.
AMD人工智能團隊的高級副總裁Vamsi Boppana強調，這筆交易將加速客戶參與和AMD的人工智能技術棧。
Silo AI, one of Europe's largest private AI labs, specializes in tailored AI models for enterprise customers. The Finnish company recently launched initiatives to develop LLMs in European languages like Swedish, Icelandic, and Danish, FT writes.
Silo AI是歐洲最大的私人人工智能實驗室之一，專門爲企業客戶定製人工智能模型。這家芬蘭公司最近啓動了開發瑞典語、冰島語和丹麥語等歐洲語言的大型語言模型（LLMs）的計劃，《金融時報》寫道。
AMD's AI technology competes with Nvidia, whose success has pushed its valuation past $3 trillion this year.
AMD的人工智能技術與英偉達競爭，後者的成功已經將其估值推高至今年超過3萬億美元。
Nvidia's proprietary software, Cuda, has significantly influenced its AI market leadership, allowing its chips to run a broader range of applications.
英偉達的專有軟件Cuda極大地影響了其在人工智能市場的領導地位，使其芯片能夠運行更廣泛的應用程序。
In contrast, Silo AI's commitment to open-source models provides a unique offering, distinguishing it from proprietary models by companies like OpenAI and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google.
相比之下，Silo AI對開源模型的承諾提供了獨特的產品，使其與OpenAI和Alphabet Inc（納斯達克代碼：GOOG）（納斯達克代碼：GOOGL）谷歌等公司的專有模型區別開來。
Under CEO Lisa Su, AMD has introduced the MI300 accelerators, promising $4 billion in revenue this year. However, Nvidia will likely generate over $100 billion from its data center chip business alone this year, Bloomberg reports.
在首席執行官Lisa Su的領導下，AMD推出了MI300加速器，承諾今年的收入將達到40億美元。然而，據彭博社報道，英偉達今年僅其數據中心芯片業務就可能產生超過1000億美元的收入。
Investors can gain exposure to the semiconductor sector through VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX).
投資者可以通過VanEck Semiconductor ETF（納斯達克代碼：SMH）和iShares Semiconductor ETF（納斯達克代碼：SOXX）來投資半導體行業。
