Etched is building the world's first AI inference system purpose-built for transformers—delivering over 10x higher performance and dramatically lower cost and latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs: real-time video generation models and extremely deep, parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents.
