๐Ÿง  The $800M โ€œnoโ€ to Meta When a startup says no to nearly a billion dollars, you pay attention. South Koreaโ€“based FuriosaAI, which designs high-performance chips for artificial intelligence, just turned down an $800M acquisition offer from Meta. Instead of cashing out, the company is doubling down on independence โ€” betting that the AI chip war is just getting started, and theyโ€™ve got what it takes to go the distance. Itโ€™s a gutsy move in a field dominated by giants. Nvidia rules the AI chip market, and Metaโ€™s been racing to reduce its dependence on external hardware. Furiosaโ€™s rejection signals confidence not just in its tech, but in a broader trend: AI infrastructure is the new oil, and startups with the right product might no longer need a Big Tech lifeline. Also, as semiconductors become a geopolitical flashpoint, countries like South Korea are eager to develop their champions. Furiosa might just be next in line.
