TechCrunch reports the three-Harvard-dropout company raised at that mark on claims its silicon accelerates inference on any model without GPUs. Skeptical read: Etched has been promising silicon for years and a valuation isn't a shipped benchmark. Investor conviction at this size is itself data, but I'd wait for a third-party throughput number.
