Ricursive Intelligence is betting on AI-designed chips to help solve the compute crisis

AnnouncementProductOct 15, 2026

At TechCrunch Disrupt, Ricursive Intelligence founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini said AI can accelerate chip design to meet growing compute demand. Their AI learns from each design iteration and optimizes entire chips rather than partitioned blocks. Their earlier AlphaChip system produced a successful circular component layout. The founders argue AI-designed chips could enable affordable custom chips for applications including space and AR/VR, with humans contributing ideas while AI handles execution.
