European Startup Euclyd Claims AI Chip Breakthrough with 1.024 Exaflops Performance, 100x Energy Efficiency
Summary
European startup Euclyd claims its new CRAFTWERK AI chip delivers unprecedented 1.024 exaflops performance with 100x better energy efficiency than current alternatives, though the ambitious specifications remain unverified by independent testing.
Key Points
- European startup Euclyd unveils CRAFTWERK AI chip featuring 16,384 custom SIMD processors, 1TB of ultra-bandwidth memory delivering 8,000 TB/s bandwidth, and compute performance up to 32 petaflops in FP4 precision
- The company claims its rack-scale CRAFTWERK STATION CWS 32 system achieves 1.024 exaflops of FP4 compute with 32TB memory while consuming 125 kilowatts, representing a hundred-fold improvement in energy efficiency over current alternatives
- Despite ambitious specifications that reportedly exceed Nvidia's current offerings, the claims remain untested outside Euclyd's framework and face typical startup challenges including manufacturing scalability and real-world deployment validation
