AUSTIN, TX, Neurophos, a spinout from Duke University and Metacept, has raised a $7.2 million seed round to productize a breakthrough in both metamaterials and optical AI inference chips.
The company has been funded in a round led by Gates Frontier and supported by MetaVC, Mana Ventures, and others. The seed funding will enable the production of a proprietary metasurface that serves as a tensor core processor enabled by its advanced optical properties. The company will also hire a team of engineers in Austin, Texas, a major silicon engineering hub.
Neurophos' mission is to deliver AI computation solutions that are not just faster, but more efficient and denser. Its unique approach combines the best of optical metasurfaces and silicon photonics, offering an AI inference acceleration solution that is poised to reshape the AI landscape. Neurophos will light the way to the future of AI.
