AI silicon
built for discovery
XPU chips run every AI workload on a fraction of the energy, built for the era of recursive self-improvement and superintelligence.
Our thesis
The substrate for all future knowledge
AI is moving from reading the internet to discovering new science, new materials, and new medicine. We build the hardware that takes it there.
Language is spent
Models have read nearly everything humanity has written, and each new round of scale buys less than the last. More text will not produce the next leap.
Discovery is a loop
The frontier is AI that proposes ideas, simulates them, tests the best against reality, and learns from the results. Every cycle produces knowledge that did not exist before.
Silicon sets the ceiling
That loop demands dense math, every precision from fp8 to fp64, and highly irregular execution, all in one machine. Hardware decides how fast it runs.
XPU
FPGA PrototypeComing soonGrasshopper
Our first XPU, prototyped on an FPGA. Built to minimize data movement, the dominant energy cost in AI. One architecture for dense and irregular workloads, at any precision.

In developmentMonolith
Connecting XPUs creates a bigger XPU. Monolith is a cluster that behaves as one chip, running the full discovery loop: training, simulation, and verification in a single machine. More soon.
Careers
Build the future of computing
We're hiring founding engineers across the stack to bring silicon back to Silicon Valley. In person in San Francisco, with a direct hand in the research and the products.
Degrees and titles don't matter here. Send a demo of something you're proud of and we'll talk.
