Tensordyne

Tensordyne is a Sunnyvale- and Munich-based AI hardware company building inference systems that use a hardware-native logarithmic number system to cut the cost and power of running large AI models. Formerly the computer-vision startup Recogni, it rebranded in September 2025 and in June 2026 unveiled Napier (TDN), a 3nm, air-cooled inference platform it claims delivers roughly 13x the throughput and 17x the efficiency of Nvidia's GB300 NVL72 rack. The company positions itself as a direct challenger to Nvidia in the market for profitable, high-throughput generative-AI inference.
