AI system that co-designs, verifies and builds custom chips end-to-end
Architect Labs (legally Architect Silicon Inc.) is a Palo Alto company building an AI system that co-designs, verifies and builds custom silicon end-to-end, founded by Ebrahim Hussain and Aaditya Subedi. It emerged from stealth on 2026-06-18 with a $24M seed led by Kindred Ventures, joined by TQ Ventures, Race Capital, Together Fund and angels including Srinivas Narayanan, Lukasz Kaiser, Aravind Srinivas and Kunle Olukotun. The platform automates RTL generation and verification — simulation and formal methods — and the company says its first accelerator, Redwood, was designed end-to-end by the system in under two weeks. It plans to sell to chipmakers and to buyers that do not normally build custom silicon: AI model developers, robotics startups and neocloud operators. No valuation has been disclosed.
