> signed $1B+ in customer contracts
> assembled a team pulled from every major AI chip program (NVIDIA, Google TPU, Broadcom, SK Hynix, TSMC)
> unveiled two new compute paradigms improving throughput and latency
> landed their vertically integrated frontier inference clusters in customers' hands
...all in under 3 years
Generational team on a generational run.
We鈥檝e raised $300M in Series C funding at a $10.3B valuation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Jane Street, Argo, and SK Hynix.
Our mission is to run the world's inference. This round accelerates production of our inference clusters.
We've opened an 80,000-sqft, 10-MW facility 15 minutes from our office to expedite production and prototyping.

Introducing Deviation Capital.
Era-defining companies are the exception. They break almost every rule of conventional wisdom as they rise, but start the same way. A founder encounters something broken, invents a way forward others couldn't see, and bets everything on bringing it to life.
We launch today as the spinout of Two Sigma Ventures to find, fund, and support these founders, backing technical teams harnessing data and computing to build enduring exceptions.
