Running a 100-billion-parameter model may need no cloud at all: Singapore's Acrab adds $130M — TNGlobal · Permalink
Vertex Ventures SEA & India and Vertex Growth led the Series B extension, weeks after a $350M round. Acrab's GΞLIX 1 chip runs inference on the device; revenue is expected within 2026.

The clean-energy platform carries roughly 1.8GW across development stages in Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Middle East, with one Indonesian project already running and 2GW operating under its Chinese parent.
