The Woman Using AI to Design the Chips AI Runs On 🔧

Anna Goldie came from an AI research background, working at the intersection of machine learning, algorithms, and computer hardware. One problem kept standing out to her. AI models were improving at an incredible pace, but the hardware underneath them was quietly becoming the bottleneck.

Designing computer chips was slow, expensive, highly specialized — years of engineering work for a single generation of hardware. Chip layouts, performance optimization, power efficiency, and manufacturing constraints all sat disconnected from each other, running on completely separate workflows.

Anna zeroed in on the layer beneath AI itself, the infrastructure most companies overlooked while everyone else raced to make AI smarter

(this angle is honestly what makes the whole story lol).

That focus led her to co-found Recursive Intelligence, applying AI to help design the next generation of computer chips — faster optimization, smarter architectures, more efficient hardware development. 💻

This functions less like another AI company and more like an intelligence layer sitting underneath semiconductor design. Engineers gained better tools. Chip companies accelerated development. AI systems gained stronger foundations to build on. Every smarter chip made future AI even more capable, compounding the whole cycle.

A few things she saw that others missed:

1. Every software revolution eventually becomes a hardware challenge
   Better intelligence demands better infrastructure underneath it.

2. AI can improve the tools used to build AI
   The technology starts compounding on itself.

3. Foundations create the biggest leverage
   Companies enabling breakthroughs often become more valuable than the breakthroughs themselves.

The takeaway:
Build the infrastructure that makes every future application better. Reduce bottlenecks, accelerate innovation, and strengthen the foundation beneath the ecosystem — that's how enabling technologies end up shaping entire industries.

What's a "boring" infrastructure layer you think is quietly about to become a big deal?

That's exactly what I amplify..
