Memory maker SK Hynix is among the backers. Etched builds Sohu, an ASIC hard-wired for the transformer architecture behind GPT, Claude and Llama, trading a GPU's flexibility for higher inference throughput per watt on that single architecture. The bet is that inference is becoming the bulk of AI compute spend and that buyers will pay for specialized silicon to undercut Nvidia. The obvious risk is architecture lock-in: an ASIC cannot be reprogrammed if the field moves past the transformer.",

The capital direction is the notable part: in October 2025 AMD granted OpenAI a warrant for up to 160 million AMD shares in exchange for a 6-gigawatt commitment, effectively paying a customer for anchor demand. Here AMD is buying equity in the customer instead.

This is debt rather than an equity round, and the scale is the story: the company raised just a $15M seed in May 2026, so the lender is underwriting the hardware rather than the balance sheet. Upper90 pioneered chip-backed lending in 2021 with a loan to Crusoe, a structure later adopted at scale by CoreWeave, but every prior deal used training GPUs.",

It posted 800% ARR growth in 12 months across 35+ AI clusters (roughly 1M GPUs), holds an estimated 12% of neoclouds by cluster count, counts Lightning AI, Foxconn, TensorWave, Telus and HPE as customers, and is the first ISV validated by NVIDIA for AI network automation. Funds go to engineering, commercial hiring and a Singapore office.",
