Its AI agent, Ignition, automatically generates, tests, and tunes low-level chip kernels, enabling any AI accelerator to run frontier models without manual porting. The company claims Ignition reached 92% of a new chip's peak performance within 10 hours and ran three frontier models end-to-end within 10 days on d-Matrix hardware. It also claims throughput improvements from ~1,400 to over 20,000 tokens per second in a single day, though benchmarks are self-reported. Infinity takes a revenue share of the performance gains it delivers rather than charging license fees, and already reports millions in ARR. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
