About
Fractile is an AI chip company headquartered in London, UK, developing dedicated processors for AI model inference. Its architecture physically interleaves memory and compute to achieve both low latency and high throughput, and its work spans from transistor-level circuit design to cloud inference server logic. The company says its approach can run frontier models up to 25 times faster at one-tenth the cost.
