Advaith Sridhar
Founder of matforge, AI scientists to discover materials for the semiconductor industry.
Company
Advaith Sridhar is listed as a founder of matforge. We build AI scientists that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry - specifically datacenters and fabs. Finding novel materials today takes 10+ years of lab work. We aim to compress that timeline to months, using a swarm of AI agents. Akash completed his PhD at Stanford on material discovery for semiconductors. The materials he discovered for nanoscale interconnects have been adopted into the roadmaps of Intel and TSMC. Advaith was the founding applied scientist at Persona AI (acquired by Luma Labs), where he built long horizon autonomous agents for major telecom and crypto companies. Power consumption and heat release from AI chips is doubling every year. The semiconductor industry needs new materials to keep this exponential going - Matforge will help find them.

We had an office hours session with @paulg yesterday (!!), and the first thing he told us to do was to change our domain name. This was quite incredible for us - we thought we had many problems, but never thought our name might be one of them. In any case, check out the to Show more

We're seeing the same in the semiconductor industry as well. There's never been a more important time to have digital simulations of the real world, and collecting data is the way to get there.

there's a course at CMU where students build semiconductor fab machines at 0.1-0.01x the cost of commercial providers. Absolutely incredible work from @Tathagata02 and his team!

GPT-5.6 sol outperforms Fable 5 in our internal benchmarks for operating and controlling lab equipment. Amusingly, both are worse than good old Bayesian optimization. We're still so early in applying AI to scientific tasks!

Claude rewrote a fortran codebase in Python overnight, and made it ~10x faster by using the GPU. Crazy times!
