Quadric, Inc. has completed a second close of its Series C funding round, bringing the total to $46 million, announced in a press release. The new investment was led by International Finance Corporation (IFC), raising Quadric’s total funding to $90 million.

Quadric develops programmable AI chips designed to run any model directly on devices, supporting localized and secure AI computation. The company plans to use the new funds to expand its support and sales teams, focusing on customers in automotive, AI‑enabled PCs, enterprise systems, humanoid robotics, wearables, and networking.

Existing investors Pear VC, Uncork Capital, and BEENEXT increased their participation in this round. Offline Ventures, co‑founded by Dave Morin and James Higa, joined as a new investor. IFC’s Chief Investment Officer Mohamed Eissa said the organization views Quadric’s programmable architecture as a way for small and medium enterprises in emerging markets to access advanced AI capability without reliance on cloud infrastructure.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
