Partnering with Ricursive Intelligence: A Premier Frontier Lab Pioneering AI for Chip Design
Sequoia 10 months ago 44
Sequoia announced a partnership with Ricursive Intelligence, led by Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini, to advance AI-driven chip design via the AlphaChip effort. The piece says chip design at leading-edge nodes can take 18–36 months, and it cites multi-month Blackwell delays causing more than $10 billion in lost 2025 revenue. It frames the change as automating more of the chip design flow to cut cycle times from months or years to hours or days and enable faster, cheaper, and more novel chip designs.
