"In the next five years, we are going to see a 10,000x greater demand for compute. And that’s likely a conservative estimate." Chips have to be more efficient.
Our co-founders @annadgoldie and @Azaliamirh took the @TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 stage to talk about what more efficient chips mean for the world. When chips can be customized for any application, and designed in days rather than years, the possibilities are endless. That's the future we're enabling.

Honored to be named to this year's #Disruptors60 as one of the world's most groundbreaking AI startups, by @TechCrunch Disrupt and @GreenfieldVC.
We're building AI that can design the very hardware it runs on. The implications are huge.
Full list: disruptors60.ai/?utm_source=d6…
Today's AI models evolve weekly. The chips they run on take years to design. Closing this gap is why Ricursive exists. Our co-founders @annadgoldie and @Azaliamirh will take the stage at @TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Don't miss it.

Proud to be included in this year's Breakout List by @chrisbarber. We're revolutionizing chip design, harnessing AI to make a years-long cycle take just days.

I asked each investor for the most elite startups they'd tell an ambitious relative to join, the ones they'd join themselves if they had to join a company, and the ones they'd pick if they had to put 10% of their net worth into one company at today's price.
The list:
So well deserved! The AI era is compute-constrained, and chip design is one of the deepest bottlenecks. @annadgoldie & @Azaliamirh are true forces of nature: they saw this early (before this has now become obvious!) and built @RicursiveAI to solve for it
Now they’re proving AI for chip design in production: real industrial chip designs, against commercial tools, with step-function results:
- Dramatically faster runs
- Cleaner layouts
- The ability to take on problems existing workflows struggle to handle
Their early results are groundbreaking, and everyone from chip incumbents, frontier labs, to hedge funds are now asking for it
Yay, in TIME100 AI w/ @Azaliamirh !
With AlphaChip, we started the field of AI for Chip Design.
Last year, we founded Ricursive to take on all of chip design, from model to GDS (the final input to the fab).
How we got here: (1/n)
Ricursive Intelligence co-founders @annadgoldie and @Azaliamirh have been named to the @TIME 100 AI 2026 list.
Together, they've spent the last decade pioneering AI for chip design at leading frontier labs. Last year, they founded Ricursive to go after end-to-end chip design, from model to silicon.
TIME highlights: "Goldie and Mirhoseini could revolutionize the way the chip industry works." We're reducing the chip design cycle from years to days.
Congrats to Anna, Azalia, and all of this year's TIME100 AI honorees!
Thrilled to see our co-founders @annadgoldie and @Azaliamirh featured by @nvidia for World Entrepreneurs' Day.
We exist to break the deadlock between today's hardware and models, and we hire only those who are genuinely brilliant and kind.
Congrats to all entrepreneurs today, who are out there solving the world's hardest, most complex, most intractable problems. 🚀
We're hiring! 🚀
Our team is growing, and we're looking for three incredible people to join us:
🗓️ An Executive Assistant to support our co-founders
🤝 Our first People Ops hire
✍ A Technical Writer who can double as a head of comms
We hire those who are the very best at their craft, with radical humility. If that's you, we want to meet you: ricursive.com/careers.
Great energy discussing the future of AI for silicon at #ICLAD2026.
Our co-founders @Azaliamirh and @annadgoldie led key discussions on the power of today's LLMs to reshape chip design. Our team loved meeting everyone who stopped by our booth at the career fair to dive deeper.
Huge thanks for two days rich in conversation, deep in connection, and full of bold insights.
Great to see Ricursive's own @carolinetrippel give an invited talk at #ICLAD2026 🎙️.
Her research tackles hardware bottlenecks head on, using AI + Formal Methods to turn 1-hr timeouts into sub 15-sec checks. Proud to have Caroline guiding Ricursive's DV direction.
Proud to join @Microsoft, @nvidia, @a16z, @PalantirTech, and 230+ tech leaders as a signatory supporting Open Weights and American AI Leadership.
An open, secure ecosystem is essential to accelerating hardware-software-model co-design and democratizing custom silicon.
Since launching last week, more than 230 companies and organizations from across the tech sector have signed the "Open Weights and American AI Leadership" open letter. We want to thank these partners for standing up and publicly supporting broader access to AI innovation. A
3 packed days at @DACconference!
The energy at Booth #1049 was unmatched. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by to learn more about Ricursive, brainstorm on accelerating chip design, or just pick up some cool swag. Until next year!
"AI inference demand is expected to grow 10,000x over the next 5 years."
Yesterday at @DACconference, @annadgoldie took the stage to share how we break today's deadlock between model and hardware. That's what we're doing at Ricursive, using our very own model.
📍 Stop by Booth #1049 to say hi.
The event was scheduled to end at 8pm. The conversations ran well past it.
Ricursive's "Chips & Pints" outgrew the room we booked, so we took over the brewery. Thanks to everyone who battled the Long Beach heat after day 1 of @DACconference to spend Monday evening with us 🍻.
Yesterday at @DACconference, @Azaliamirh shared 3 predictions:
🧠 Test-time compute = new scaling frontier
☁️ Shift to hybrid local + cloud AI
💥 "Cambrian explosion" of custom chips
Ricursive is enabling a paradigm shift, from Fabless to "Designless."
Up today:
🎙️ @annadgoldie: "Closing the Loop Between AI and the Hardware That Fuels It" with Veriest - 4:00 PM | Exhibitor Forum
