Startup Infinity Raises $15M to Challenge Nvidia's CUDA Software Moat

Infinity, founded 2025 by ex-Google Brain researcher Jeremy Nixon, raised $15M at a $100M valuation. Its agent Ignition auto-generates, tests, and optimizes low-level inference code for Nvidia-alternative chips — Nvidia's CUDA software layer being its real competitive moat. Infinity claims CUDA-level performance. Customer D-Matrix saw months of work compressed to hours. Third parties have not verified that claim.
