Kandou AI has raised $225 million in Series A funding led by SoftBank and Synopsys to tackle AI's memory wall problem with chip-to-chip interconnect technology, betting that copper interconnects can outlast the optical revolution.

Arm has announced its first own semiconductors, the Arm AGI CPU, targeting agentic AI workloads with double the performance per watt of Intel and AMD x86 alternatives. Meta, OpenAI, and Cerebras are among the first customers.
