Etched @ UT Austin

​Aryan Dua - Engineer at Etched and Turing Scholar - will be on campus to talk about his experience going from UT Austin to joining the team building Sohu — the world's first transformer ASIC.

​We'll do a more technical deep dive into the software stack on top of the chip-building process. Etched is building a transformer-specific AI chip that's >10x faster than NVIDIA GPUs. Founded by Harvard dropouts turned Thiel Fellows, Etched has raised hundreds of millions from leading investors, including Peter Thiel, Jane Street, Two Sigma, and Primary Ventures. Engineering is led by Mark Ross (ex-CTO of Cypress Semiconductor [acq. 9.4B]);  Brian Loiler (ex-NVIDA for 23 years, built the HGX/DGX servers, responsible for >80% of NVIDIA’s revenue); and David Munday (built the TPU v1-v5 software/firmware teams).

​This event is a gathering for Turing Scholars and interested undergrads and grad students to join for dinner and a discussion with Aryan and other members of the Etched team. Please RSVP to join us!
