Stephanie Zhan(@stephzhan):So fun to host @annadgoldie and @Azaliamirh of @RicursiveAI at @sequoia AI Ascent 2026! They share the story of building AlphaChip which was incorporated into multiple generations of the TPU. They walk through their three-phase roadmap: from AI-powered design tools -> a "fabless era" platform for custom silicon -> full vertical integration, and their LT vision of building true recursive AI. 00:00 Neural Nets Meet Chips 00:21 Meet AlphaChip Creators 00:43 Recursive Intelligence Vision 01:31 AlphaChip Real World Impact 02:17 Three Phase Company Roadmap 02:20 Phase One Speeding Design 04:11 Rebuilding Tools for AI 05:05 STA Engine and RL Loop 06:15 Designless Platform and Custom Chips 08:01 Team and Audience Q&A
