Ricursive Intelligence

Frontier AI lab building AI for chip design and chip design for AI. Applies reinforcement learning and LLMs to automate and accelerate every stage of semiconductor development, with the goal of closing a recursive self-improvement loop between AI models and the silicon that powers them. Founded in 2025 by Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini, the Google DeepMind researchers behind AlphaChip. Raised a $35M seed in December 2025 and a $300M Series A at a $4B post-money valuation in January 2026, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with DST Global, NVIDIA's NVentures, Felicis Ventures, Radical AI, and Sequoia Capital — roughly $335M total.
