We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $40M Series A! co-led by @MarathonMP and @chemistry, with participation from @Wing_VC, @AMD Ventures, @outsetcap, @fiftyyears, and @ycombinator, and our existing investors doubling down on @wafer_ai. we are also joined by an incredible list of angels, including @JeffDean (CEO, @DiscoLoopAI), @rauchg (CEO, @vercel), @andyfang (CTO, @DoorDash), @kvogt (CEO, Bot), @akothari (COO, @NotionHQ), @eastdakota (CEO, @Cloudflare), @deepgramscott (CEO, @DeepgramAI), and more! Most inference optimization today is manual, service-heavy, and done one-time before deployment. Wafer’s vision is AI that optimizes AI. Wafer continuously learns from your workload’s traffic patterns and performance constraints, then finds the optimal deployment across model, engine, kernels, and hardware. This capital helps us accelerate automating more of the inference optimization loop, giving every deployment the leverage of an expert inference-performance team that continuously finds ways to improve performance per dollar. Thank you to the customers who trusted us with their workloads, the partners who built alongside us, the investors who believed in our mission, and the Wafer team members who have worked tirelessly to turn this vision into reality. 🫶🧇
