Fractile

AI is advancing faster than the hardware it runs on, creating a bottleneck for the world’s largest models.

Fractile is removing that bottleneck. Founded in 2022 by Oxford robotics engineer Walter Goodwin and backed by $15m in seed funding, the company is developing new chips for in-memory compute that will be able to run AI models up to 25× faster, and at 10× lower cost than today’s hardware.

By rethinking chip architecture, Fractile will reduce power consumption of AI compute in datacenters – one of the fastest growing drivers of global energy demand.
