Infinity raises $15M to run AI inference on any chipset
Why it matters
As inference becomes the bottleneck in AI economics, startups are racing to decouple model optimization from hardware specificity. Infinity's software-first approach to chipset abstraction addresses a real pain point: every new accelerator requires custom kernel tuning, slowing deployment velocity.
Key signals
- Infinity Inc. raised $15M seed funding
- $100M post-money valuation
- Focus: automated software for AI inference optimization across heterogeneous chipsets
- Use of capital: engineering team expansion and automated research scaling
- Problem addressed: chipset-agnostic inference preparation

The hook
$15M. That's what Infinity just raised to solve the chipset fragmentation problem killing inference economics.
Early-stage AI infrastructure research company Infinity Inc. said it raised $15 million in seed funding to develop software that automatically prepares new artificial intelligence chips to run inference workloads. The round values the company at $100 million on a post-money basis. Infinity will use …
