π₯ Hot Takes Tuesday for 2025-01-14
Exploring groundbreaking AI developments from UALink and Intel Capital's potential spinout!
Two hot takes on stories that caught my eye on Tuesday.
πͺ + π° Granted, the name UALink (Ultra Accelerator Link Consortium) might not sound very familiar but the AI work being done for drastically less eye watering prices with systems that are not underpinned or based on NVIDIA is becoming an increasingly interesting space to keep an eye on. 2025 might just be the year where even the NVIDIA H100 based approaches are well within reach of mid-market Enterprise and even prosumers.

π° + π° And speaking of UALink promoter level members, Intel Capital (big fan) is likely to spin outβ¦ perhaps as something cleverly namedβ¦ maybe βICβ? π π€

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Appleβs first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
