Mastering
Startup Pricing:
The Key to
Growth!
|
|
|
|
Pricing isn't
just a number—it’s
a game-changer
for your startup.
The right pricing
model fuels growth,

customers, and
boosts
revenue. Yet, many
founders overlook
its power. Here’s why
pricing
matters:
|
|
✅ No perfect
price exists—it’s an
iterative
process. ✅ Avoid pricing
silos—collaborate
across
teams. ✅ Packaging
influences
perception—position
smartly. ✅ Right pricing
fuels growth—don’t fear
higher
prices!

Meta Enters the
AI Chip Race!
|
|
|
|
Meta is testing
its first in-house AI training
chip
, built by TSMC
as part of the MTIA series. The chip is
designed for AI training
&
inference
and follows Meta’s
successful first tape-out
milestone ✅, proving its
scalability.
|
Why it
matters?
|
|
Could save billions
from its $65B AI
infrastructure
spend
Reduces Nvidia
dependency
like OpenAI,
Amazon &
ByteDance ⚡ Expands
in-house chips for genAI &
recommendation
systems
|
|
Meta’s AI Power
Move!
Meta is testing
its first in-house
AI training chip,
aiming to cut
costs and reduce
reliance on
Nvidia. With
deployment
planned by
2026, this
could reshape
the AI
landscape!
Will this give
Meta an edge in
the AI race?

DeepSeek isn’t
Taking VC Money
Yet
|
|
|
|
DeepSeek, one of
the hottest AI
startups, is
taking a unique
approach by not
raising external
funding. Here’s
why:
|
|
Founder
Control:
Liang Wenfeng owns
84% of DeepSeek
and doesn’t want
outside
influence.
Self-Funded:
Profits from his
hedge fund,
High-Flyer, have
kept DeepSeek
running.
Trust &
Privacy
Risks:
Accepting Chinese
investment could
deepen global
concerns and
bans.
|
|
But things could change—DeepSeek is
shifting toward
monetization,
struggling with AI
chip shortages,
and facing
High-Flyer’s
declining
performance. With Tencent and
Alibaba showing
interest, will DeepSeek
hold out or raise
capital?

Hugging
Face Expands
LeRobot with
Self-Driving
Training
Data
|
|
Hugging Face has
teamed up with AI
startup Yaak to
enhance its
LeRobot platform
by adding a
massive new
dataset, Learning
to Drive (L2D).
Sourced from
German driving
schools, L2D
provides over a
petabyte of
real-world sensor

focuses on
end-to-end
learning, helping
AI predict driving
actions directly
from sensor
inputs. Hugging
Face and Yaak are
inviting AI
developers to
contribute and
refine
self-driving
models.
