SEA Deal Ticker
Running a 100-billion-parameter model may need no cloud at all: Singapore's Acrab adds $130M
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.
Positive-sum angle: Inference that never leaves the building gives banks, hospitals and government buyers across SEA a deployment path that does not start with a data-residency argument.
