AI gets all the headlines, but the real magic happens in the hardware. Every breakthrough we see - from chatbots to image generators - runs on an intricate network of chips and memory systems processing unfathomable amounts of data. There's just one problem: as AI models balloon in size, we're hitting a wall. The traditional way of moving data between processors and memory can't keep up anymore. That's where Celestial AI comes in. This Santa Clara startup is rethinking the entire approach to data movement in AI systems, and they're doing it quietly, away from the spotlight.
The story of Celestial AI starts with a simple but crucial insight. Back in 2020, David Lazovsky and Preet Virk saw something that others had missed: AI's biggest hurdle wouldn't be raw computing power - it would be
