Hardware startup wants to solve the multi billion dollar problem of bandwidth by using an ancient technique — AI memory compression technique could save Google, Microsoft billions but Nvidia won't be happy

ZeroPoint chip.

Swedish firm ZeroPoint Technologies, a spin-off from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, was founded by Professor Per Stenström and Dr. Angelos Arelakis with the goal of delivering efficient real-time memory compression across the entire memory system. The company seeks to maximize server efficiency by addressing memory bottlenecks, potentially saving hyperscalers like Microsoft, Meta, and Google, as well as large enterprises, substantial costs.

ZeroPoint claims its technology eliminates up to 70% of unnecessary data in microchip memory through a combination of ultra-fast compression, real-time data compaction, and efficient memory management. This approach maximizes performance per watt and tackles the long-standing challenge of memory bottlenecks that have hindered performance scaling for decades.
