Fractile

London-based Fractile is designing a new class of AI inference chips that integrate memory and compute, attacking the bottleneck that makes running large models slow and expensive.

Its architecture aims to run frontier models dramatically faster and more cheaply than today's hardware. Backed by investors including the NATO Innovation Fund and Oxford Science Enterprises, it is an early-stage but ambitious bet on rethinking AI silicon.

It is part of Europe's small but growing cohort of AI-chip challengers.
