Etched's Transformer-Focused AI Chip Aims to Challenge Nvidia's Dominance

  Galvin Uberti has declared war with Nvidia, saying that his company would become the world's leading company. Etched has unveiled Sohu, its transformer-exclusive chip that reportedly delivers over 100x the performance of a similarly priced GPU cluster. Etched's unique strategy of focusing solely on transformers could make Sohu a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for AI companies. However, Etched faces competition from other startups and the risk of transformer architecture becoming obsolete.
