Extropic builds a silicon-based probabilistic chip and a full hardware platform to accelerate generative AI. It uses thermodynamic accelerated computing, turning natural matter fluctuations into computation to perform probabilistic tasks like Monte Carlo simulations. This approach distinguishes Extropic from traditional chips by focusing on physics-based, energy-efficient probabilistic processing and providing a complete hardware stack rather than just a component. The goal is to reshape AI hardware so large models can run more efficiently, with lower energy use and fewer bottlenecks.
