London startup Fractile raised a $220 million Series B led by Accel, Factorial Funds and Founders Fund to attack the inference bottleneck with a memory-centric chip design.
Qué cambió
Fractile says current inference hardware leaves frontier models stuck around tens of tokens per second for difficult reasoning workloads.
CEO Walter Goodwin is pitching a design that avoids both HBM and conventional on-chip SRAM, moving toward in-memory compute rather than a better GPU clone.
Por qué importa
The company has not yet disclosed customers, production timing, benchmark numbers or quantified power savings, so the round is still a bet on architecture.
