We’re on site at #HotChips2026. Meet the team building a new paradigm of AI hardware at Memorial Auditorium and learn about our ambitious hardware roadmap.

Normal is a Platinum sponsor of #HotChips2026 at Stanford. Meet Peter Vigil and our hardware team Monday and Tuesday to discuss the systems we’re building, our ambitious hardware roadmap and accepted CN101 poster. Open roles: careers.normalcomputing.com

@thomasahle, our Head of Machine Learning, will represent Normal Computing on the Si2 Board. We look forward to expanding our contributions to Si2’s standards work and LLM Benchmarking Coalition, drawing on our applied AI work with partners across the semiconductor industry. si2.org/si2-welcomes-normal-…

Jin Lim joined Normal Computing this week as Vice President, Global Strategic Growth & APAC. Most recently, Jin served as SVP of SK Group's AI data center initiative, where he led both the technology and business strategy behind next-generation AI infrastructure. Earlier in his career, he built and scaled organizations at SK hynix, Samsung, Oracle, Couchbase, and EMC, spanning technical and commercial leadership roles across the full stack of modern compute. At Normal, Jin will lead and expand our top five global Tier-1 semiconductor accounts while owning the three-year APAC P&L, including revenue, margin, and operating discipline. He will build and scale our commercial engagement team across the region and synchronize it with our forward-deployed engineering model we have put in place. Jin's ability to operate across both the technical and commercial dimensions of our customer relationships will be critical as we scale. "Jin brings a rare combination in deep tech; the experience building transformative R&D solutions as a seasoned semiconductor veteran, and the track record of someone who has scaled commercial organizations at the highest level. I look forward to working with Jin to support our closest partnerships in physics-based computing and beyond." – @FarisSbahi, CEO & Co-Founder We are excited to welcome Jin to the Normal team.

@thomasahle joined Tim Scarfe on @MLStreetTalk to talk thermodynamic computing, bringing AI into chip design, and how you know an AI-designed chip is actually correct. Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=5pieVHml…

Solving AI's energy demand is a complex challenge that spans the entire stack, from generation and grid connection to power delivery, cooling, and how efficiently the compute itself runs. Normal is focused on the compute layer: how much intelligence each watt buys. At the Waddesdon Transition Forum, our CEO @FarisSbahi joined the panel "Building the Infrastructure Behind the AI Revolution," alongside James Tyler of @Equinix and Jill Macari of @VEIR_Grid, with James Lockyer of @Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund moderating. The Forum is a gathering of senior investors, policymakers, and energy operators, with Secretary @JohnKerry as Co-Executive Chair. Thank you to Nadav Steinmetz, Dor Bershadsky, Climate First and @GalvanizeLLC for including Normal Computing.

At @iclr_conf in Rio? Join us for the Normal Silicon Social on Sunday, April 26 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Copacabana Palace. Request an invite: luma.com/3ioi64wv #ICLR2026

Normal Computing is sponsoring @iclr_conf 2026 in Rio de Janeiro. Our research team will be on-site presenting papers spanning thermodynamic computing, Normal's physics-based computing architecture, and the AI methods underpinning Normal EDA, our platform for silicon engineering. Come talk to the researchers behind the work. We'll share a preview of what we're launching live at the conference. Follow along for real-time updates in the ICLR app. Meet us at the booth: Thursday, April 23 – Saturday, April 25 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM daily

"Normal is one of the most difficult places to work, probably in the world, frankly. You're working at the frontier of multiple fields in an effort to push and create a new field forward." In the final chapter of Inside Normal, @FarisSbahi and @zaqqwerty_ai talk about the founding conviction, the recursive loop between Normal EDA and the Carnot hardware program, and what it takes to build at this intersection.

"Why not be part of a company that's actually part of doing the changing? You get to be part of what's happening. You get to actually change the world." In Chapter 03 of Inside Normal, Craig Churchill and Johann George talk about how business and engineering work together at Normal, what the hiring bar looks like, and why the semiconductor industry's design methodology is changing.
