Articul8 AI
Articul8 AI is a Santa Clara-based enterprise generative AI company, spun out of Intel in January 2024, that builds domain-specific GenAI systems for regulated and mission-critical industries such as energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, aerospace, and financial services. Its flagship ModelMesh platform acts as an autonomous 'agent of agents' that orchestrates specialized models on a customer's own data with full auditability and security. The company reached a valuation above $500 million within two years of launch and serves customers including Hitachi Energy, Franklin Templeton, AWS, and Intel.
AheadComputing
AheadComputing is a Beaverton, Oregon semiconductor startup founded in 2024 by four former Intel CPU architects who left to build high-performance 64-bit RISC-V processor cores from a clean slate. Betting that the future bottleneck in AI and data-center computing is the CPU rather than the GPU, the company is designing a 'Big Core' out-of-order engine that maximizes per-core performance without the legacy baggage of x86. Backed by roughly $53M in seed funding from Eclipse, Toyota Ventures, Cambium and legendary chip designer Jim Keller, AheadComputing wants to prove that an open instruction set can deliver top-tier performance.
