He recalled on the Pioneers of AI podcast that he had been a world champion in mathematics as a high-school student: “I was a world champion for mathematics in high school.” The guest description on the show’s page likewise mentions a world mathematics championship in high school, without naming the competition.⁠[1][2][3]

He went to Harvard UniversityHarvard UniversityHarvard University is a private research university in Massachusetts, established by the Massachusetts Bay Colony legislature in 1636 and named in 1639 for early benefactor John Harvard. Its principal campuses are in Cambridge and the Allston and Longwood neighborhoods of Boston. It includes Harvard College, graduate and professional schools, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Two governing boards share oversight. Alan M. Garber was president as of October 2026, and the endowment stood at $56.9 billion at the end of fiscal 2025.Open the full entry to study mathematics; on the Pioneers of AI podcast he said that he went there for mathematics and “loved it there.” His biographies on the Masters of Scale and SEMI websites state that at Harvard he was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in computer science at the same time, and that he left the university.⁠[2][4][5]

On December 8, 2021, the paper “Building Usable Witness Encryption” by Gavin Uberti, Kevin Luo, Oliver Cheng and Wittmann Goh, with his name listed first, was submitted to arXiv. Building on an open-source multilinear map implementation of the CLT13 graded encoding scheme with asymmetric modifications, the authors report creating what they describe as the first ciphertext encoded with a candidate witness encryption scheme; using a reduction from Sudoku to Exact Cover, they encrypted the private key of a BitcoinBitcoinBitcoin (common symbol BTC) is an open peer-to-peer electronic cash protocol, network, and native digital asset.

CNBC writes that he and Christopher Zhu dropped out of Harvard University in 2022. He recalled on the Pioneers of AI podcast that he left about a year and a half into college to live as “a digital nomad,” traveling through South America and Southeast Asia and taking “a flight about once every four days”; asked how his parents reacted, he said, “I paid for it myself, so I didn’t really care.” He stressed: “I actually did not drop out to start EtchedEtchedEtched develops AI inference chips and rack systems, co-designing silicon, memory, interconnects, software and manufacturing for large-model inference.Open the full entry, I just dropped out.” EE Times wrote in 2023 that he had planned to take a year off from Harvard and instead took a job at OctoML.⁠[7][2][10]

EE Times writes that at OctoML he worked on the open-source Apache TVM compiler and on microkernels. His SEMI biography states that he built compilers at OctoML, wrote matmul kernels for Apache TVM and rewrote the Cortex-M convolution kernel, achieving state-of-the-art results on MLPerf Tiny; the Masters of Scale and SEMI biographies add that he has given guest lectures at Columbia UniversityColumbia UniversityColumbia University, formally Columbia University in the City of New York, is a private research university in New York City and a member of the Ivy League.

EE Times wrote in 2023 that while writing microkernels for Arm Cortex-M4 and M7 cores he found that their instruction set lacked an 8-bit multiply-accumulate (MAC) SIMD instruction, so that 8-bit MAC operations ran at roughly half speed; he said the problem “could never be fixed,” which pushed him and Christopher Zhu to build something better, while he also noticed interest shifting toward language models. CNBC writes that a summer internship on compilers exposed him to low-level hardware ideas, after which he and Christopher Zhu began working on a chip company, and that Robert Wachen then joined as a co-founder.⁠[10][7]

He said in 2024, “In 2022, we made a bet that transformers would take over the world.” MIT Technology Review writes that transformers were then competing with architectures such as convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory, and he admits that “it was a risky bet.” On TechCrunch’s Found podcast he said that the company had the idea of building chips for transformer models months before the AI boom began in November 2022; GPT-3 had seemed highly differentiated to him early on—“I could not fathom why folks weren’t talking about it”—and ChatGPTChatGPTChatGPT is a generative AI assistant launched by OpenAI on November 30, 2022.

TechCrunch and VnExpress International give 2022 as the year Etched was founded, while SiliconANGLE gives 2021. TechCrunch wrote in 2026 that the three founders dropped out to launch Etched without knowing how to raise money or hire; the article states that the founders set up the servers needed to run chip-design tools in an early employee’s garage, and that whenever they needed rebooting, the employee would call his wife, who would press the reboot button.⁠[14][6][15][16]

On March 20, 2024, the Thiel Foundation announced its new class of 20 Thiel Fellows; he, Christopher Zhu and Robert Wachen were all selected for the Thiel Fellowship with Etched. The announcement states that each fellow receives $100,000 and access to a network of tech founders, investors, scientists and former fellows, and that fellows commit to working full-time on their projects. His entry in the list reads: “Etched was founded because the next 100x of scale requires silicon to be customized for a model’s architecture. Flexible AI chips don’t make sense in a world where training a single model costs more than designing an entire chip.”⁠[1]

Primary, an investor in Etched, writes in its post announcing the Series A that he, Robert Wachen and Christopher Zhu were among the first teams to receive the Thiel Fellowship together; TechCrunch also wrote in June 2024 that all three are Thiel Fellowship alumni. TechCrunch wrote in June 2026 that he and Robert Wachen had dropped out of Harvard and become Thiel Fellows in order to found the company, as he had explained to TechCrunch at the time.⁠[17][11][14]

CNBC and TechCrunch wrote on June 25, 2024 that Etched had raised a $120 million Series A co-led by Primary Venture Partners and Positive Sum.

He said, “One Sohu server replaces 160 H100 GPUs,” and that “our future customers won’t be able to afford not to switch to Sohu.” He said that unnamed customers had reserved “tens of millions of dollars” in hardware. CNBC writes that Sohu devotes less die space to memory and more to compute and uses one large core, and that the company claims its chips are more than 10 times faster than NVIDIA’s GPUs.⁠[11][7]

Brian Schechter of Primary describes him in the post as “mature beyond his years, visionary” and obsessed with details.⁠[17]

On August 20, 2024, TechCrunch released an episode of its Found podcast with him as guest, its title quoting him as saying that Etched “stands on the shoulders of giants.” He said on the show that it is a matter of time before NVIDIA, GoogleGoogleGoogle is an American technology company founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and incorporated in 1998.

Its businesses include internet search, advertising, software platforms, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.Open the full entry and the hyperscalers begin to compete, but “I think we have more than an 18-month head start on them”; he compared Etched’s strategy to Bitcoin mining, where makers of specialized ASICs sell chips to others rather than running them, and where ASICs far outperformed GPUs once they arrived. He also talked about dropping out of Harvard to build the company and what it has been like being a CEO and hiring for such a complex area, and said that Etched had set up employee benefits too late. The episode page states that Etched had by then raised more than $125 million in venture funding and that its chips were not yet on the market.⁠[13]

MIT Technology Review named him, at 23, to its 2025 Innovators Under 35 list in the category of artificial intelligence and robotics, with the line “He created a specialized AI chip to take on Nvidia.” The profile states that Sohu, the chip he co-designed, can by his account deliver “10 times the throughput” of a top NVIDIA chip for a type of calculation used in generative AI tools, and that its circuits “can do only one thing, exceedingly well”; if the AI industry moves away from transformers, Etched’s business would be finished, while if he is right, Etched could grow into “one of the largest businesses in the world” or be bought by one.⁠[12]

On August 18, 2026, Etched announced that it had raised another $700 million, more than doubling its valuation to $21 billion, in a round led by Jane Street with Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global Management, Bain Capital Ventures and others. SiliconANGLE writes that after its first prototype chip came off a TSMC production line earlier that year, Etched signed Jane Street as its first customer, and that Jane Street had installed an Etched-powered rack in its data center the previous month. He said, “It took us three years to deliver our first rack from scratch,” and “Our next one will be much faster.”⁠[15]

SiliconANGLE writes that Etched began by designing chips optimized for specific AI models and later pivoted to inference accelerators that support a variety of model architectures; the company says the math blocks of its chips run at under half the voltage of most AI accelerators. VnExpress International wrote in September 2026 that the three founders were all 24, that Etched had more than 400 employees, about 15% of whom had previously worked at NVIDIA, and that the company said it had got the test chips from TSMC running AI workloads in 44 days, against six months or longer typically. Sonya Huang, a general partner at Sequoia Capital, said to The Wall Street JournalThe Wall Street JournalThe Wall Street Journal is a U.S. news publication founded in 1889, with a focus on business, finance and economics. It is published by Dow Jones, part of News Corp.Open the full entry that the prevailing wisdom among technology investors had been “don’t back the kids in chips.”⁠[15][6]

He said on the Pioneers of AI podcast that writing code for microcontrollers showed him that only “a very tiny part” of each chip is used for doing the math, with most of the work spent moving data; on the NVIDIA H100, he said, only around 3 percent of the chip is spent on matrix multiplication blocks. He compared transformers to x86, where software written for it brought more adoption, which in turn brought more software, and said, “We are not going to beat NVIDIA at almost everything they do. But at one, Transformers, we will dominate.” He said Etched’s chip is by design able to run only transformers, which frees die area for more compute.⁠[2]

He claimed on the show that Sohu reaches 500,000 tokens per second on a Llama 70B-class model, compared with roughly 30,000 tokens per second for an NVIDIA system of eight H100s, and said, “Etched does not sell chips. Etched sells solutions,” meaning complete systems of boards, servers and racks. He said that a lot of the Series A money was going not to R&D but to building the products, through a much larger than normal risk production run, with the goal of “generating revenue. Serious revenue”; he named Two Sigma as one of its strategic investors, said that the company had gained a lot of traction with trading firms, and said that customers are under non-disclosure agreements.⁠[2]

He holds that the public underrates current models: “The biggest misconception is that the current chatbots suck.” He expects human-level models and said that specialized chips could cut costs “by an order of magnitude.” Asked whether NVIDIA would build a transformer chip too, he said, “Eventually, they will,” but argued that Etched’s head start and the long lead times of hardware give it an edge.⁠[2]
