Infinity announced a new case study showcasing tools for its autonomous research and tool-building agent, Ignition, which generates, tests and optimizes the low-level compute kernels, compilers, profilers, debuggers and SDKs that determine how efficiently a chip runs AI models — developed in a design partnership with d-Matrix for its SRAM-based Corsair accelerator.

Infinity raised $15M in seed funding at a $100M post-money valuation, with significant participation from Touring Capital, along with Principal VC, chip-company executives, and researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic — funding the scale-up of Ignition, its agent that makes any AI chip inference-ready.
