Santa Clara-based Upscale AI hit unicorn status following a $200 million Series A led by Tiger Global. This $300 million total funding targets the networking bottleneck where GPU speeds outpace data transfer in AI clusters. By using its SkyHammer platform and open standards like UALink, the startup aims to slash latency and end proprietary hardware lock-in. This signals a systemic shift toward the open, high-performance infrastructure required for the AGI era. 🚀
