We raised $15m to build the ASICs-first inference cloud.
We're betting big on alternatives to GPUs, and the result is that we are already 5-8x faster on most models.

“It’s already exploded, and most people, including us at Village, think it’ll 100x from here.” - @maxkilberg, Investment Partner at @villageglobal, on the inference market.
Village Global backed @FPuklowski and @GoodisonJason in May, when General Compute had no revenue, limited infrastructure and a thesis about where inference was headed. Seven months later, we have hardware vendors, colocation partners and are pioneering hardware financing for inference and alternative chips.
Thanks to Max and the Village Global team for backing us from day one. Check out the full interview here: https://t.co/Ff7uDztTsU
Village Global backs early-stage startups with funding, mentorship, and networks from some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and investors. It’s a network of founders, luminary LPs, and operator angels from some of the world’s greatest tech companies.

Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.
We're presenting at CoRL Late Breaking Results next week.

Moonshot just dropped Kimi K3.1 Pro. We used it to speed run online shopping.
One prompt → monitor found → checkout → order confirmed.
11.5 seconds.
Watch @Kimi_Moonshot K3.1 Pro in action, accelerated by Cerebras.
"This team moves incredibly fast" - @dkwon98 from @AbstractVC.
We're just getting warmed up. Time to move faster and make the next 6 months happen. It's all about scaling customers, racks, and our work with epic partners like @Cerebras.
Thanks to David and Abstract for co-leading our Series A. We asked him why he invested. Full interview here: https://t.co/AuTcFxIPma
We're excited to announce Pathfinder's $16M in funding with our Series A led by Portage with participation from Reach Capital, Gradient and Stand Together Ventures Lab
If this animates and excites you, we're hiring: https://t.co/SjNimZgG5v
