d-Matrix is a US startup that designs AI inference accelerators. Its Corsair inference accelerator entered volume production on June 9, 2026 (Source: theinformation.com).
On July 7, 2026, d-Matrix and Nvidia disclosed a partnership combining their respective hardware in a new system to power AI models. The Information characterized the arrangement as the latest example of Nvidia's strategy of partnering with, rather than fighting, its growing list of AI server-chip competitors — a pattern that includes vendor-financing and backstop arrangements with cloud providers deploying non-Nvidia silicon (Source: theinformation.com).
d-Matrix operates in the same custom-inference-silicon segment as Groq, Cerebras, and the hyperscaler ASIC programs co-designed by Broadcom, a segment whose growth bears on inference economics and on competition questions about concentration in the compute stack.
