We’re building an LLM chip that delivers much higher throughput than any other chip while also achieving the lowest latency. We call it the MatX One. The MatX One chip is based on a splittable systolic array, which has the energy and area efficiency that large systolic arrays are famous for, while also getting high utilization on smaller matrices with flexible shapes. The chip combines the low latency of SRAM-first designs with the long-context support of HBM. These elements, plus a fresh take on numerics, deliver higher throughput on LLMs than any announced system, while simultaneously matching the latency of SRAM-first designs. Higher throughput and lower latency give you smarter and faster models for your subscription dollar. We’ve raised a $500M Series B to wrap up development and quickly scale manufacturing, with tapeout in under a year. The round was led by Jane Street, one of the most tech-savvy Wall Street firms, and Situational Awareness LP, whose founder Leopold Aschenbrenner
