Startup Gimlet Labs is solving the AI inference bottleneck in a surprisingly elegant way

Gimlet Labs raised an $80 million Series A to develop a cross‑silicon AI runtime that can run models simultaneously across NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, ARM, Cerebras and d‑Matrix chips. The financing validates demand for vendor‑agnostic AI infrastructure that could reduce hardware lock‑in and improve deployment flexibility and efficiency across chip vendors; commercial adoption and revenue impact remain early-stage.
