Mako is an NYC-based artificial intelligence company specializing in GPU kernel code generation. Its AI-powered platform lets developers write in high-level languages while the system writes and continually tunes the low-level code needed to run models at top speed on any hardware. The product is designed to improve the value of every chip, whether in the cloud or on-premises, by abstracting away the complexity of low-level parallel programming. That abstraction enables engineers to achieve world-class performance with minimal effort. Mako raised $8.5M in Seed funding and intends to use the funds to expand operations and development efforts. The company is led by CEO Waleed Atallah and has key partnerships with AMD and Tenstorrent.
