Never heard of this company till now. Wonder what other notable startups are out there. How does one keep tabs on startups?

I have been wondering the same thing; scouring Wellfound seems to yield little of interest, for example.

I first heard of TensTorrent from Dr. Ian Cutress's YT channel TechTechPotato. https://youtu.be/AFVDZeg4RVY https://youtu.be/AFVDZeg4RVY It's a good source for trends in hardware.

  Anandtech has now lost its touch without Ian and some of the older staff. Such a piece of history now...

Sally Foxton-Ward (EETimes) and Ian Cuttress (TechTechPotato) started a podcast (only 2 episodes so far I think) listing through companies and what they do. I agree it is very hard to follow with companies coming and going. Not sure if linking is allowed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQzf_1AkNXw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQzf_1AkNXw

I have a list of some I'm keeping tabs on, I'll share it here. I do it out of a combination of personal obsession plus because I want to source angel investments. Note though that I'm very biased toward AI companies... Most established, clear product-market fit: - OpenAI - Midjourney - Character ai - Runway ML Ones that are interesting: - Adept AI - Modal, Banana.dev - new.computer - Magic.dev - Modular (Mojo) - tiny corp - Galileo - Hippo ML - Tenstorrent - contextual.ai - Chroma - e2b.dev - Steamship - Patterns.app - GGML Ones that I want to learn more about before deciding: - Inflection AI - GetLindy - Embra - Jam.dev - Vocode.dev That's about 50% of my list. Happy to clean up the rest and write a post if there's interest

    I‘m not sure about them, they seem more like a research + consulting shop than working on products

  What about Anthropic?

    Anthropic feels super underrated. From my experience, Claude+ is on par with GPT-4, 100k context model is amazing, but because they don't have a product exposed to the public, they don't have to burn billions of $ on things like ChatGPT. Also there's a chance they might avoid some cases of direct regulation and local bans since they are under media radar.

      They also seem to have a pretty sweet deal with AWS going on.

  I'd also be interested to see the list of companies that you've written off.
