About Fractile
Fractile is seeking to increase the clock speed of global progress, one chip at a time.
Fractile was founded in 2022 on the bet that the world's most capable AI systems would be limited in their impact by the time taken to produce useful outputs. We have been building chips and systems that tackle how to efficiently generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts.
Mission
To radically re-invent the hardware that frontier AI models run on, unlocking inference speed at scale.
