From Meta's $800 Million Offer To LG Deal: How FuriosaAI Became South Korea's AI Chip Disruptor

Su Predicts ‘Cambrian’ Chip Boom

South Korean AI chip startup FuriosaAI turned down a reported $800 million acquisition offer from Meta (NASDAQ:META) in order to remain independent and build its own AI hardware mission‑driven business, TechCrunch reports.

FuriosaAI then secured a major partnership to supply its purpose‑built RNGD, pronounced "Renegade," chip to LG AI Research's recently launched EXAONE 4.0 large language model platform, targeting enterprise deployments across electronics, finance, telecommunications, and biotechnology sectors, TechCrunch says.
