About the Company

Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200. We are a fully in-person team in Cupertino that values engineering skills and integrates research with engineering.
