[Intel Plans to Acquire AI Chip Company SambaNova] According to a report by Jinse Finance, sources say Intel is in talks to acquire AI chip manufacturer SambaNova. SambaNova had previously worked with bankers to evaluate potential buyers' intentions. The report states that any deal could value SambaNova below the $5 billion valuation it received during its 2021 funding round. The negotiations are still in the early stages, and it remains uncertain whether the two parties can reach an agreement. (Jin10)
