If you're excited to tackle the challenges required to run the world's inference like:
- Building a Gigawatt-scale factory
- Orchestrating quadrillion-token clusters
- Making self-improving kernel agents
- Designing new product lines from scratch

We’ve raised $300M in Series C funding at a $10.3B valuation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Jane Street, Argo, and SK Hynix.
Our mission is to run the world's inference. This round accelerates production of our inference clusters.
We've opened an 80,000-sqft, 10-MW facility 15 minutes from our office to expedite production and prototyping.
Chip design is what connects our inference system.
Our entire silicon flow is custom for inference. We develop critical IP in-house, including our fabrics, interconnects, math blocks, and memories.
Closing blocks at low voltages is a very hard PD problem. Etched heavily invests in owning our own physical design, creating novel solutions to solve challenging problems like IR drop. We build custom PnR and sign-off flows to push PPA to its limit.
Chip designers own a block through this entire process: uArch, RTL, DV, PD, signoff, and (most importantly) bringup and production!
Vertically integrating the full inference hardware stack is extremely hard.

We're coming out of stealth.
We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.
Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.
Our first racks ship this summer.
