Filing: Chip startup Powerlattice raises $86M to ease AI’s power crunch
The new funding nearly triples what the Vancouver, Wash.-based semiconductor startup had raised when it came out of stealth last year. Powerlattice says its tech can cut AI chip energy use by more than half.

Generative AI’s per-query footprint can be small compared to flying, eating meat, or even Zoom. Until agents show up and compute goes through the roof.
How I updated my AI footprint calculator accordingly jonippolito.substack.com/p/age

Chart titled “How much more energy do heavier AI prompts use?” Lightbulbs represent relative compute/energy: Simple 1×, Complex 9×, Reasoning 30×, and Agentic 100×. Example tasks progress from telling a golf joke to writing a vegan picnic menu, comparing home insulation options, and buying garden supplies and booking a landscaper.

The answer then is to leave it alone and wait.
