Infinity Raises $15M to Rival Nvidia's CUDA

Infinity Inc. has raised $15 million in seed funding at a $100 million valuation to develop AI software that automates chip software stack creation. Its core product, Ignition, is an AI agent that generates compilers, kernels, debuggers and profilers to run inference workloads on any processor architecture in hours or days. The startup targets Nvidia's dominance by replicating CUDA-level software ecosystems for rival chipmakers. Ignition boosted Qwen3-8B inference throughput by 34% in one day and hit 92% peak performance on d-Matrix's Corsair chip within 10 hours. Infinity earns revenue by taking roughly 20% of compute savings it generates for partners.
