AI chip startup Positron is in talks on a two-stage financing round targeting about $750m. The company, which develops energy-efficient inference chips for AI models and is among firms seeking to challenge NVIDIA’s position, would be valued at roughly $3.5bn after the first tranche and as much as $5bn after the second.
