Li Auto announced the launch of the "world's first dynamic dataflow AI Chip" — the Li Auto Mach M100 — at its LivisDay event. The Mach M100 SoC is built on an advanced 5nm automotive-grade process and features 24 Arm Cortex-A78AE cores running at 2.3GHz. It delivers up to 1280 TOPS of computing power per chip, with a claimed utilization rate of 82%. On the memory front, it supports 8 LPDDR5X subsystems, delivering a bandwidth of up to 273GB/s. The new Li Auto L9 Livis is now equipped with dual Mach M100 chips, offering a total of 2560 TOPS and enabling integrated cockpit-and-autonomous-driving capabilities. It is reported that the M100 will be available in Standard and Ultra versions, though the differences between the two have not yet been disclosed.

According to media ​reports, Qualcomm is in talks to acquire AI Chip startup ​Tenstorrent for $8 billion to $10 billion. The talks were ongoing ​and the price could change, or the ⁠discussions could fall apart. Qualcomm has increasingly sought to reduce its dependence on the cyclical handset ​market by ​expanding into ⁠high-growth segments such as data center processors and autonomous vehicle chips. Founded ​in 2016, Tenstorrent is headed by ​Jim ⁠Keller, a former Apple chip designer who also oversaw Tesla's efforts to design a chip ⁠for ​autonomous driving. The startup develops ​accelerators for training AI models and running AI applications.
