We are excited to announce OLIX's $312m Series B.

OLIX's mission is to build the infrastructure for frontier AI. Instead of forcing a single chip to do everything, we build specialised silicon and an optical network to connect it, unrolling models across racks like an assembly line. A different answer to the industry's supply chain constraints, built on components available at scale today.

Alongside the round, we have appointed Professor Nick McKeown to our board of directors. Nick is one of the defining figures of modern networking and co-invented software-defined networking, OpenFlow and P4. He is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and winner of the 2025 Marconi Prize. He co-founded several companies, including Nicira, acquired by VMware, and Barefoot Networks, acquired by Intel, where he went on to lead the company's networking business.

We have also appointed Matt Briers as Chief Financial Officer. Matt was the CFO of Wise for nine years, joining in 2015 from Google when the company had around 500,000 customers and was loss-making through taking it public in a 2021 direct listing on the London Stock Exchange. Wise’s direct listing was the first by a technology company in London and the exchange's largest technology listing, valuing Wise at £8.75 billion, approximately $12 billion. He built the finance function that carried Wise from private company to the public markets while it remained profitable throughout.

@matt_slotnick @intervalsicu Very cool ! Any plan to open source ?

[microagi @microagi]

We are agressively hiring AI researchers who are keen on diffusing AI into the real world.

We've got the compute covered; you have to bring the delusional ambition.

[Steeve Morin @steeve]

and ZML will run on it

[Ziv Reichert @zivreichert]

Very lucky to get to work with @bercankilic @YoanIlievX @antonwontonnn @notgiannei @ZenoInMotion @EastlondonDev and the entire @microagi team. A rare breed of an organisation. Thanks @arian_ghashghai for the initial intro.

Europe invented the factory and industrialised the world twice.

Today we raised the largest seed round in German history to do it a
third time. 10 months in.

Back to work!

[microagi @microagi]

microagi has raised a $55M seed led by Hummingbird with Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global and redalpine, ten months after founding. Atlas trains control policies on worker demonstrations and deploys them to production - starting with the world's largest industrial companies.

[Andrew Jefferson @EastlondonDev]

I’m so excited to be part of this team! Can’t stop to tweet though, busy taking this robot to a new home

@steeve 🦾🦾🦾 Bravo 👏

[Steeve Morin @steeve]

We're releasing ZML/LLMD, our homegrown LLM server built on top of our homegrown high performance heterogeneous inference stack.

It ships with 5 architectures out of the box: NVIDIA, AMD, Metal, Intel and TPU. All transparent.

It supports DFlash, continuous batching, prefix caching, the whole deal.

Oh, and it's fast.

[Steeve Morin @steeve]

We sat down with @ylecun for a 1h30 discussion on world models @medjawii and JB Kempf of @videolan/@FFmpeg.

It's probably the deepest technical discussion on the subject ever recorded. And we added English subtitles.

Fable turned my remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter.

My prompts fade, a LLM respond.

Magical!

[George Henry @georgehdf]

@s8mb His choice to play Balogun or not for this game. Takes a lot of courage but could decide not to start him…

[Matt Slotnick @matt_slotnick]

didn’t know you were allowed to raise $3B without first going on a podcast tour

[George Henry @georgehdf]

😂😂😂

[Owen Carey @owenthcarey]

@SpaceX @cursor_ai Cursor after fixing the bug it introduced.

[Steeve Morin @steeve]

another 5 days later, zml/llmd runs fully on Metal, serving 8 simultaneous requests at full bf16

zml/llmd is our LLM serving software that all the modern niceties (continuous batching etc..)

ps: "full bf16", what a time to be alive
