Company profile
OLIX
London company designing artificial intelligence inference accelerator chips and systems that split token generation across purpose-built silicon, with additional engineering activity in Bristol.
Company overview
OLIX is developing hardware infrastructure for artificial intelligence, specifically targeting inefficiencies in AI inference. The company identifies that running all token generation operations on a single general-purpose chip creates a bottleneck that limits throughput and increases cost. Its solution is a disaggregated, 'production line' system using specialised machines for different parts of the token generation process, connected by fast, low-cost links. OLIX refers to this architecture as the 'token factory for frontier AI' and describes its role as building the 'memory layer for inference'. A venture-backed company that has raised a $312M Series B round, OLIX operates on a fabless model, designing its own silicon. The company is based in London with additional UK engineering operations in Bristol, and teams in the US and Canada.
