Vinci emerges from stealth with $46M to accelerate physics‑driven AI chip simulation

Summary

Silicon Valley startup Vinci has come out of stealth with a physics‑driven AI platform that it claims can run chip and hardware simulations up to 1,000x faster than traditional finite element analysis tools, without training on customer data. The company disclosed $46 million in total seed and Series A funding led by Xora Innovation and Eclipse, with backing from Khosla Ventures, to expand deployments at leading semiconductor manufacturers.
