Upscale AI Launches with Over $100 Million Seed Round
"Upscale AI is launching a next‑generation AI suite of networking solutions that delivers high‑performance connectivity for specialized compute, accelerating AI democratization with open‑standard and full‑stack turnkey solutions. Upscale AI is pioneering open-standard networking technology to drive faster innovation along with greater choice and flexibility across AI infrastructure. Upscale AI's portfolio is built on SONiC, Ultra Accelerator Link (UAL), Ultra Ethernet (UE), Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI), and other cutting-edge open source technologies and open standards."
"AI's exponential growth has outpaced general-purpose compute and traditional networks, opening up a $20+ billion AI networking market. Realizing AI's potential requires a full-stack redesign: specialized xPU clusters, ultra-low latency interconnects, and secure and power-efficient infrastructure to connect massive heterogeneous compute deployments at unprecedented speed. Upscale AI aims to meet this demand by designing robust silicon, systems, and software for ultra-low latency networking, enabling breakthrough performance and scalability for AI training, inference, generative AI, edge computing, and cloud-scale deployments."
Upscale AI, Inc. launched with over $100 million in seed funding co-led by Mayfield and Maverick Silicon with participation from StepStone Group, Celesta Capital, Xora, Qualcomm Ventures, Cota Capital, MVP Ventures, and Stanford University. Auradine incubated Upscale AI. Upscale AI provides next-generation, open-standard, full-stack turnkey networking solutions and silicon for ultra-low-latency connectivity tailored to specialized xPU clusters and heterogeneous compute. The portfolio leverages SONiC, UAL, Ultra Ethernet, SAI, and other open-source technologies while participating in UEC, UAL, OCP, and SONiC Foundation. The company targets a $20+ billion AI networking market by designing silicon, systems, and software to enable scalable performance for training, inference, generative AI, edge, and cloud deployments.
