Extropic

HQ San Francisco, United StatesFounded 2022

Extropic is building a new type of AI chip that uses thermodynamic fluctuations—normally seen as noise—to perform efficient probabilistic computations. This allows their processors to run tasks like Monte Carlo simulations with significantly less energy, making them ideal for AI, finance, and scientific applications. Founded by quantum computing veterans, Extropic recently raised $14.1 million to bring this tech to market. Their silicon-based approach offers a lightweight alternative to traditional chips, potentially challenging giants like Nvidia in the race for AI hardware dominance.
