原文深度解读

英国AI芯片初创公司Olix于2026年8月12日宣布完成3.12亿美元B轮融资,估值达33亿美元,公司成立仅两年。本轮融资由Fundomo、Arm和Hudson River Trading参与,天使投资人包括Netflix联合创始人Reed Hastings,现有投资者均追加投资。同时,Olix任命Nick McKeown为董事会成员,并任命Matt Briers为首席财务官。文章还介绍了Olix的X-1平台和DX-1芯片,以及英国AI部长的支持表态。该事件与电子元器件供应链相关,涉及AI芯片设计、制造及供应链布局。

  • Olix完成3.12亿美元B轮融资,估值33亿美元,成立仅两年。
  • 本轮融资方包括Fundomo、Arm和Hudson River Trading,天使投资人包括Netflix联合创始人Reed Hastings,现有投资者均增加投资。
  • Olix任命Nick McKeown为董事会成员,他是软件定义网络、OpenFlow和P4的共同发明人,斯坦福大学荣休教授,2025年马可尼奖得主。
  • Olix任命Matt Briers为首席财务官。
  • Olix的X-1平台将模型完全展开到大量芯片上,形成生产线,使每个芯片专注于模型的一部分;首款芯片DX-1是解码加速器,针对模型推理和输出阶段。
  • DX-1在100B参数模型上可实现帕累托最优推理性能,每用户每秒超过10,000个token,且每瓦输出token吞吐量高于通用芯片在大批量下的表现。

供应链影响

  • Olix的芯片设计可能依赖Arm等投资者的技术授权,其供应链可能涉及Arm的IP和制造合作伙伴。
  • DX-1芯片的量产可能取决于晶圆代工厂的产能分配,可能影响先进制程的供需平衡。
  • Olix的融资和扩张可能带动对专用芯片制造、封装和测试服务的需求,可能影响相关供应链环节。
  • 英国政府通过主权AI计划支持Olix,可能影响英国本土芯片供应链的布局和投资。
  • Olix的芯片性能宣称可能吸引更多客户,可能改变AI推理芯片市场的竞争格局,进而影响供应链订单分配。

Nick McKeown共同发明了软件定义网络、OpenFlow和P4。他是斯坦福大学计算机科学与电气工程荣休教授,2025年马可尼奖得主。

总部位于英国的AI芯片初创公司Olix宣布完成3.12亿美元B轮融资,估值达33亿美元,此时距公司成立仅两年。

本轮融资包括Fundomo、Arm和Hudson River Trading,以及天使投资人,包括Netflix联合创始人Reed Hastings,现有投资者均增加了投资,Olix表示。

与此同时,Olix任命Nick McKeown教授为董事会成员。McKeown共同发明了软件定义网络、OpenFlow和P4。他是斯坦福大学计算机科学与电气工程荣休教授,2025年马可尼奖得主。Olix还任命Matt Briers为首席财务官。

“Olix的系统基于这样的信念:在token生产过程的每个阶段使用专用芯片将解锁AI性能和成本的阶跃变化,”Olix表示。“在Olix的X-1平台中,模型完全展开到大量芯片上,形成一条生产线,使每个芯片专注于模型的一部分。”

Olix在X-1平台中构建的首款芯片是DX-1,即解码加速器,专为模型推理和生成输出的阶段设计。该公司表示,对于100B参数规模的模型,DX-1可以实现帕累托最优推理性能,每用户每秒同时提供超过10,000个token,且每瓦输出token吞吐量高于运行大批量的通用芯片。

“AI的未来将建立在驱动模型的芯片之上。制造芯片的国家将建立杠杆,”英国AI部长Kanishka Narayan在新闻稿中表示。“Olix正是我们希望通过主权AI支持的那种雄心勃勃的公司。在短短两年内,它已成为英国最令人兴奋的AI初创公司之一,开发突破性芯片技术,有潜力帮助塑造AI的未来。”

从制造和设计到供应链和新兴技术,电子行业从未止步。在即将举行的Evertiq Expo活动中,结识推动行业前进的人们。下一站是9月17日的Evertiq Expo哥德堡,行业专业人士将齐聚一堂,交流知识、发现新解决方案并建立宝贵的商业联系。

Nick McKeown co-invented software-defined networking, OpenFlow and P4. He is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and winner of the 2025 Marconi Prize.

UK-based AI chip startup Olix has announced a USD 312 million Series B financing round at a USD 3.3 billion valuation, two years after it was founded.

The round included Fundomo, Arm and Hudson River Trading, alongside angel investors including Reed Hastings, the co-founder of Netflix, with existing investors all increasing their commitments, Olix said.

Alongside the round, Olix has appointed Professor Nick McKeown to its board of directors. McKeown co-invented software-defined networking, OpenFlow and P4. He is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and winner of the 2025 Marconi Prize. Olix has also appointed Matt Briers as Chief Financial Officer.

“Olix’s systems are built on the belief that using specialised chips for each stage of the token production process will unlock a step change in AI performance and cost,” Olix said. “In Olix’s X-1 platform models are fully unrolled across a large number of chips, creating a production line which allows each chip to focus on a single part of the model.”

The first chip Olix is building within the X-1 platform is DX-1, its decode accelerator, designed for the stage at which a model reasons and generates its output. For 100B parameter size models DX-1 can achieve the pareto optimal inference performance delivering simultaneously over 10,000 tokens per second per user at higher output token throughput per watt than general purpose chips running large batch sizes, the company said.

“The future of AI will be built on chips that power models. Countries that build chips will build leverage,” UK’s AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said in a press release. “Olix is exactly the kind of ambitious company we want to back through Sovereign AI. In just two years, it has established itself as one of the UK’s most exciting AI startups, developing breakthrough chip technology with the potential to help shape the future of AI.”
