Ricursive Intelligence is building AI that designs chips; founders to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Ricursive Intelligence, founded by Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini, is developing AI systems to automate and accelerate chip design with the aim of cutting multi-year design cycles to weeks; the startup, launched in late 2025, raised $335 million (including a $300 million Series A) at a $4 billion valuation and counts Nvidia among investors. Goldie and Mirhoseini — who helped build Google’s AlphaChip and worked at Anthropic and DeepMind — will discuss the approach and its implications on the Disrupt 2026 stage.

Google to launch TPU-equipped satellite for Project Suncatcher on Oct 1, 2026

Google will launch a satellite carrying its Tensor Processing Units aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 on Oct. 1, 2026 as part of Project Suncatcher to test how TPUs perform under spaceflight stresses, radiation, and thermal extremes. The mission will also trial heat-pipe and radiator cooling; Google says the chips can run for about 15 minutes before needing to be turned off, and it plans two additional satellites next year.
