We often talk about big bets at Etched and there’s no higher conviction investor than @sonyatweetybird and @abhishekm1636 Sonya did over 50 calls with customers, suppliers, and other chip companies before approaching us about working together Before I knew it I was on a plane with Sonya, @dougleone, and @gradypb talking about what the future of inference clusters would look like. @Alfred_Lin and fifteen people from the sequoia partnership came by our lab, saw the models run themselves, and we decided to partner together We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Sequoia!
We @Sequoia are leading the Series C in @Etched Etched has built a beautiful machine in Gen 1. And Gen 2/3/++ will only be faster and more ambitious. Maximizing intelligence per flop is both insanely fun engineering and an incredibly noble mission. Honored to be on board. https://twitter.com/sonyatweetybird/status/2080307164581879866
