Infinity Artificial Intelligence Institute develops software to enable advanced AI inference models to run smoothly across many chip types, positioning itself as a cross-chip alternative to Nvidia's CUDA platform. The startup raised $15 million in a seed round at a $100 million post-money valuation, with participation from Touring Capital and researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic. Founder Jeremy Nixon, a former Google Brain researcher, employs AI agents to automatically generate and test the complex code required for efficient model inference. The company aims to broaden hardware choices for developers and reduce reliance on a single dominant supplier. The reported use of funds is to advance the development of this cross-chip inference software.
