Anna Patterson has a leading career in Silicon valley. They founded three days, including xif search engine upstart Tabalso recall.archive.orgthat is an internet archive. She is a vice president of Google, and later starting effort starting business, focused seed funds. And they don’t finish the building.
Patterson tells techcrroch if a few years ago she had it itching to start new, but not sure she had the beginning of another. But after a breast cancer diagnosis of 2023 and can’t work in that year, he knows that it can return to age or starting new.
Clearly he selected the last: the new startup, Ceramic.aisaid to provide the basic base of the base training in infrastructure can be used to train a faster language model using a lower GPU instead of “the country now.” Ceramists declare models can use long context and can be used with clusters, and the purpose is to help scale model 100 times.
Patterson said that he had an idea for the company when he knew that there was an existing infrastructure for the llms buildings had many variables, and very complicated to adopted on a scale.
“If you try to shrink 10x infrastructure, usually there is no problem,” said Patterson. “But if you try to, you know, 100x or more, you often have to go back and forth, I think some of the infrastructure will be done for the next 10 years, will I do it?”
The process of thinking up to Ceramic Ai on January 2024, called Patterson with Tom Costello, company’s head scientist. Startup has surgery in stealth starts now, and has entered a partner, including AWS and Lambda – although it does not produce profits. Patterson said he wanted to build credibility, awareness and reliable with potential customers before focusing on sales.
The company recently picked up the $ 12 million seed seed led by Nea and see the participation of IBM, Samsung Next, and Venthshot equity. Patterson says it is a natural choice to lead a round because of the company’s technical mastery. The funding will be destroyed primarily sales and continuing development.
But after three starters, as a career career from senior role and years as investors, what are the differences this time? Patterson said her approach to start starting since he used time on the other side of the table as an investor VC. They feel that there is a time pressure that is now compared when you make some companies first.
“When I was a company of younger buildings, I think this is kind of very kind, but I feel like it’s so happy,” he said. “While now, you know after being VC years old, I always feel cleaned.”
They think that a good thing even if, it’s better to get products in front of customers first and get feedback and get arguments.
That is the possibility of suitable for ceramics because not only the company looking for help in modern assistance.
One of the greatest competitors are TogetherThat may be seen to help the “turbocharge the” model work that is done, and has more than $ 530 million in your business capital. Mosicml Also targeted LLM acceleration and returns $ 37 million previously obtained by DataBricks on 2023 for $ 1.3 billion.
Now, Ceramic has a cut off the cut if you want to engraize the space for themselves in this moving market.
