Vaire CEO Explains Reversible Computing Chips That Recycle Energy Like a Tide Mill
MikePFrank · x · 2026-10-13
Vaire Computing CEO Rodolfo Rosini gave a four-part interview with Anglo Futurism on reversible computing.
- A normal chip uses each transistor's charge once and dumps it to ground as heat; Vaire's chips park that charge in a resonator and send it back the way it came.
- Like a tide mill that makes power on both in and out flows, recovering enough energy lets the chip earn back its overheads.
- With AI turning energy into computing's bottleneck, Rosini argues reversibility—a principle dating back to Carnot—is the only way to keep scaling compute for the next 50 years.
