Goodwin Machine Learning raised a $720M Series C led by Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Redpoint, and Founders Fund to ship what it calls the world's fastest AI chips. Its thesis: the hardest problems need extreme inference-compute scaling — OpenAI ran 10,000 parallel agents for 80 hours (over $10M) on a Millennium Prize problem — and sequential scaling (fewer agents thinking longer) beats parallel scaling in every way except latency.
