Infinity raises $15 million at a $100 million valuation from Touring Capital, Principal VC, and researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic to build software that helps AI models run across different chips. Its Ignition research agent writes, tests, debugs, and optimizes low-level inference code, aiming to provide a CUDA-alternative software stack for architectures including GPUs, phone chips, SRAM, and systolic arrays. D-Matrix is a customer, and Infinity charges a share of measured performance gains and cost savings rather than an upfront license fee.
