Next-Gen AI Chip Startups: Innovative Approaches to Break Nvidia Dominance

Every single startup working on next-gen AI chips (July 2026)

Every approach attacks data movement differently to break Nvidia’s dominance:
– eliminate DRAM (Groq)
– eliminate the interconnect (Cerebras)
– eliminate the compute/memory split (d-Matrix)
– eliminate the server’s compute-centrism (Majestic)
– eliminate generality (Etched, Taalas, MatX)
– or eliminate the $400M litho machine (Substrate)

Edit: I missed Tensordyne in this list, and omitted photonics, interconnect, thermodynamics and superconducting compute as well to keep it tractable
