Etched @ UT Austin
Etched is building the world's first AI inference system purpose-built for transformers—delivering over 10x higher performance and dramatically lower cost and latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs: real-time video generation models and extremely deep, parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents.
Aryan Dua, Carter Wilcox, and other Members of the Etched Team will be on campus this Wednesday evening. We will cover:
Frontier AI wars (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more)
Hardware x Software co-design to 10x GPU performance, and...
How to maximize your time before the AI singularity!
Speakers include:Aryan Dua: MTS Inference. UT Austin Turing Scholar '26 (Dropout)
Carter Wilcox: Head of Special Projects. Prev. Noam Shazeer's Chief of Staff.
Several other Etched team members and Turing Scholar alums
Undergrads, grad/PhD students, and researchers across all engineering domains are welcome to join. Please RSVP as space and Allday Pizza are limited.
