Founded in London by James Dacombe in 2024, Olix develops the X-1 platform that distributes AI model workloads across specialised chips connected by an optical interconnect. Its first chip, the DX-1, is a decode accelerator that the company claims can deliver over 10,000 tokens per second per user on 100-billion-parameter models while using less power for large batches, and is designed to scale to models with trillions of parameters. Olix has over 140 employees across London, Bristol, Toronto, Austin and San Francisco. The company plans to launch DX-1 to initial customers in the second half of 2027 and to ramp platform development and chip manufacturing with the new funding. Olix has rapidly increased its valuation through multiple funding rounds, most recently reaching $3.3 billion after the $312 million raise, up from just over $1 billion in February. The AI chip market in which Olix competes was valued at about $84 billion in 2026 and is expected to grow rapidly through 2030.

Aseon Labs develops modular, parking space–sized automated pods designed to inspect, clean, and charge robotaxis to reduce deadhead miles. The units are intended to operate autonomously (with early versions staffed), using cameras, robotic arms, and vision-language-action models to triage issues and decide when to send vehicles to depots. Pods are designed as temporary, relocatable structures that can run on propane generators or connect to existing power/EV charging infrastructure. The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California, and was co-founded by George Kalligeros and Dan Keene, who previously built Pushme, a battery-swap startup acquired in 2020. Aseon’s current team is about six people, and the seed financing will fund five prototypes, team growth to roughly a dozen, and real-estate to pilot a network; it has not yet signed contracts with robotaxi operators but reports broad interest.
