SGLang Spins Off into RadixArk with a $400M Valuation
SGLang, a project that originated in the research laboratory of Professor Ion Stoica at UC Berkeley, has become an independent company RadixArk with an impressive valuation of 400 million dollars. This step was made possible by attracting capital from the Accel investment fund, demonstrating growing interest in the inference market and the technologies that SGLang is built upon. But what is SGLang and why does its separation into RadixArk cause such excitement? SGLang is an open-source project aimed at simplifying the development and deployment of complex machine learning applications. In particular, it allows developers to more efficiently manage the inference process – the stage when a trained model is used to make predictions on new data.
