A little bit more about Untether AI

Untether AI has developed a groundbreaking new architecture that brings neural net inference to new levels of performance and efficiency.

We’ve already sold our product to smart clients who want to get in at ground zero. We’ve done this while continuing to improve our technology creating ultra-efficient, high performance AI chips that eliminates the data movement bottleneck that costs energy and performance in traditional architectures.

We’re a team made up of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs and have the support of tier one investors. We recently received $125 million in our series B funding round which enables us to expand our customer engagements, enhance our software offering, and build the next generation of industry leading AI inference products.

Join us to be part of something big - a chance to create the future of AI.
