# Gimlet Labs Raises $300M Series B at $3B Valuation for AI Inference Cloud

> Gimlet Labs has raised a 300 million dollar Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz, vaulting the company to a 3 billion dollar valuation and bringing its total funding to 392 million. The pitch is what it calls a multi-silicon inference cloud, software that routes AI workloads across different types of accelerators, from Nvidia and AMD to Arm and custom chips, so customers are not locked into a single vendor's hardware. The timing tracks with a real pain point, since the cost and scarcity of inference compute has become one of the defining constraints of the AI build-out, and most infrastructure is tightly coupled to Nvidia. A layer that can shift jobs to whatever silicon is cheapest or most available is an appealing hedge. Investors including Arm, M12, and Menlo Ventures joined the round, and the company says it plans to expand its serverless capacity by several hundred megawatts and eventually move into custom hardware of its own.
