Overview
Cotidal builds specialized AI compute infrastructure, creating supercomputers for training and running large AI models for leading AI companies and research labs. Its approach pairs hardware and software in a single design, engineering silicon, code, and data-center deployment together to maximize performance for AI workloads; initially it centers on TPUs with a goal of supporting multiple chip stacks later. This holistic co-design differentiates Cotidal from vendors that sell hardware or software separately, aiming for hardware-agnostic efficiency as chip tech evolves. Its goal is to speed breakthroughs in AI by providing scalable, integrated compute for fields like medicine, physics, and robotics.
