Etched @ Purdue

​Come meet the Etched team at Purdue!

​Carter Wilcox, Head of Special Projects at Etched, prev. Chief of Staff to Noam Shazeer, prev. Harvard, will be on campus to talk about the state of AI and what it's like to be on the inside of the biggest industrial buildout of all time. He'll be joined by Thomas Marlowe '26, MTS, who will share his journey from competitive programming to building frontier-class firmware. Come get the inside scoop on Silicon Valley.

​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. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is building the hardware for superintelligence.

​Space is limited, please RSVP. We will have Pizza Uncommon and Insomnia cookies.

​Thank you to the Purdue Engineering, Startup, and technology community for hosting us.
