  "account": "Dunamu & Partners recently invested $5 million in Kalosm, a UK-based AI inference optimization company. This seed investment is part of Kalosm's $100 million funding round, led by Atomico and joined by other venture capital firms and the UK government's sovereign AI fund. Founded in 2024 by former Cambridge neuroscientists Danyal Akarca and Yasha Achterberg, Kalosm's approach to AI differs from traditional methods. Instead of scaling up a single large model, they believe in combining multiple models and semiconductors with varying strengths, much like the brain integrates circuits for intelligence. Currently, AI inference typically involves using a single large model on one type of semiconductor. However, Kalosm's method breaks down tasks into smaller units and assigns them to different models and semiconductors based on cost, power consumption, and speed requirements. The company claims their approach yields faster processing speeds, reduced computing costs, and improved task success rates. Kalosm's clients include semiconductor and AI infrastructure companies like Cerebras, Rebellions, Axelera AI, Tengr.ai, and Supermicro.",
