The AI chip maker announced a $1.5 billion Series E financing round, aimed at scaling its Galaxy servers for large‑language and video‑generation models.
Tenstorrent, the Toronto‑based AI chip maker, announced a $1.5 billion Series E financing round that will fund the expansion of its Galaxy server platform, targeting large‑language and video‑generation models.
Funding round details
The round was led by existing investors and included participation from several sovereign wealth funds, bringing Tenstorrent’s total funding to over $3 billion. The capital will be allocated to scaling manufacturing, hiring engineering talent, and accelerating product roadmaps for its next‑gen AI accelerators.
Galaxy servers and AI workloads
Tenstorrent’s Galaxy servers combine its proprietary tensor cores with high‑bandwidth memory, designed to handle the compute‑intensive demands of large‑language models (LLMs) and generative video AI. The company claims the architecture can deliver up to 30% higher throughput per watt compared with competing solutions.
Early adopters are expected to integrate Galaxy servers into data‑center clusters for tasks such as natural‑language understanding, content creation, and real‑time video synthesis, areas where model size and inference speed are critical.
Market context
The financing comes as the AI hardware market intensifies, with major players like Nvidia, AMD, and emerging startups racing to meet the surge in demand for compute resources driven by generative AI applications.
