Etched

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.

Vertically integrating the full inference hardware stack is extremely hard. Hear @UbertiGavin and @robertwachen share three years of battle stories leading into today's launch

@LiamFedus Thanks for all of your support Liam!

@Etched Congrats! Love seeing the huge gains by rethinking inference all the way down to materials and packaging!

@karpathy We're excited to spend more time together!

Congrats!! I was impressed to learn about some of the engineering wizardry (e.g. *very* low voltage domains, cluster scale memory, ...) that goes into tokens/watt maxxing of state of the art LLMs at interactive tokens/sec/user. Esp fun and memorable is the idea that this is engineering at the "opposite" regime to that of power transmission lines: very low voltage high current (at tiny distances) vs. very high voltage & low current (at great distances). Looking forward to more!

@karimatiyeh More to come :)

@Etched 🤯🤯

@timbchin @LaurenWChin Thanks Tim, you're always welcome!

@Etched amazing, I've been to your offices a few times to visit @LaurenWChin. @Etched has the best office energy I've ever seen

@ypatil125 Thanks Yash!

@Etched Congratulations!!!

@JasonrShuman Thanks Jason!

@Etched Big day! Congrats

We're scaling production as fast as possible. We built a 2MW datacenter in our office and opened a Taiwan factory for 24/7 engineering. Performance, roadmap, and more updates are coming this summer. If this excites you, join us to build the future of gigawatt-scale inference:

Join the hackathon and apply here: etched.com/hackathon

We believe today's models significantly underutilize inference-time compute and search. With better algorithms and much faster hardware, we can push this scaling law by several orders of magnitude. We're particularly interested in research that accelerates parallel reasoning, high batch speculative decoding, text diffusion, and adaptive scaling.

We're excited to partner with @Cognition_Labs @Mercor_AI @CoreWeave and @AnthropicAI to host an inference-time compute hackathon, featuring >$60K in cash prizes and >1 exaflop of free compute.

Thousands of people in the line 😅 adding compute to handle the load! Go to oasis.decart.ai to try it yourself
