NAVER D2SF has invested in the seed round of whereable.ai, an AI-powered autonomous driving startup, announced in a press release. Whereable.ai is developing a plug-and-play autonomous driving solution that can operate immediately in any environment without the need for high-definition maps or additional infrastructure.

Founded by the cofounders of ThorDrive, whereable.ai utilizes self-supervised learning to recognize real-time road conditions and adapt to environmental changes. The technology processes data directly on devices, allowing flexible adjustments to driving locations and routes according to customer needs.

The startup has already secured a project at Incheon International Airport, where 10 autonomous indoor transport vehicles are undergoing test runs. Official operations are set to begin in the first half of 2025. Whereable.ai aims to expand its market to include international airports, shopping malls, resorts, golf courses, campuses, and industrial facilities.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
