Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the significant power wastage in AI facilities due to unmanaged power surges, leading to revenue loss. In response to this challenge, Niv-AI, a Tel Aviv-based startup, has secured $12 million in seed funding to address this issue. Founded by CEO Tomer Timor and CTO Edward Kizis, Niv-AI aims to precisely measure GPU power consumption using new sensors and develop efficient management tools.
As data centers grapple with rapid power demand fluctuations during AI model training, Niv-AI’s technology offers a solution to optimize power usage and avoid costly energy storage or GPU throttling. Lior Handlesman from Grove Ventures emphasized the urgency for a shift in data center infrastructure to address these power challenges.
By focusing on enhancing GPU power performance, Niv-AI’s approach could improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of AI facility operations in the era of advanced AI computing.
