Vinci4D raises $250M Series B at $1.5B for physics AI chip design

Vinci4D, a Silicon Valley startup that came out of stealth in December, has closed a $250 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation, co-led by Advent International, Temasek and Xora, with several VC firms and AMD Ventures participating. The company says its physics-driven AI simulation software runs up to 1,000 times faster than conventional simulation tools with higher accuracy, and that the AMD partnership lets users run Vinci software inference on AMD's MI355x chips to analyze printed circuit boards, chip packages and 3D stacked integrated circuits. Vinci says the funding will extend development into planned electromagnetics and fluid dynamics capabilities and toward automotive and aerospace applications. The model is trained on Vinci's own data rather than customer data, and CEO Panneerselvam said deployment behind the customer's firewall keeps proprietary design information with the customer.
