人工智能（AI）的发展需要越来越强大的芯片作为支撑。然而，设计这些芯片本身是一个耗时且复杂的流程。那么，当AI也开始参与芯片设计工作时，会发生什么呢？
AI needs increasingly powerful chips. But designing those chips is itself a slow, complex process. What happens when AI starts doing some of that work, too?
这就是“Ricursive Intelligence”这家初创公司的核心理念。该公司正在开发一种能够自主设计芯片的AI系统：这种AI可以从设计过程中学习经验，并不断优化后续的设计方案，从而加速高性能AI硬件的研发进程。
That’s the idea behind Ricursive Intelligence. The startup is developing AI that can design chips, learn from the process, and improve the next design — potentially accelerating development of the hardware that powers increasingly capable AI.
目前，设计一款芯片通常需要两到三年的时间；Ricursive Intelligence的目标是将这一周期缩短至几周之内。
Today, designing a chip can take two to three years. Recursive wants to reduce that cycle to a matter of weeks.
在2026年的TechCrunch Disrupt大会上，Ricursive Intelligence的联合创始人Anna Goldie和Azalia Mirhoseini将发表题为“当AI开始设计自己的硬件时”（When AI Starts Designing Its Own Hardware）的演讲，讨论如何实现AI与芯片开发之间的良性循环、构建能够自我优化的系统，以及如何突破推动AI技术发展的关键瓶颈。
At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Ricursive Intelligence co-founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini will take the Disrupt Stage for “When AI Starts Designing Its Own Hardware.” They’ll discuss closing the loop between AI and chip development, building self-improving systems, and tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in the race toward more powerful intelligence.

Goldie和Mirhoseini已经证明了AI在芯片设计中的巨大潜力。在创立Ricursive Intelligence之前，她们曾在谷歌共同领导过AlphaChip项目——这是一个能够快速生成芯片布局的AI系统，其设计速度远快于人类设计师。她们的研究成果为谷歌的多代Tensor Processing Unit（TPU）芯片的研发提供了重要支持。
Goldie and Mirhoseini have already shown that AI can play a significant role in chip design. Before founding Ricursive Intelligence, the pair co-led AlphaChip at Google, an AI system that could generate chip layouts in hours rather than the much longer process required of human designers. Their work helped design multiple generations of Google’s Tensor Processing Units.
Ricursive Intelligence正在进一步拓展这一理念，开发出能够自动化并加速芯片设计的AI工具。他们的系统旨在通过学习不同芯片的设计经验来不断提升自身的设计能力：每一次芯片设计的经验都会为下一次的设计带来改进。
Ricursive Intelligence is taking that concept further, building AI tools to automate and accelerate chip design. Its system is intended to learn across different chips, so the experience of designing one can improve how it approaches the next.
这种循环机制具有巨大的潜力：AI帮助设计出更优秀的硬件，更优秀的硬件又为AI提供更强的计算能力，而这些系统反过来又能推动下一代AI技术的发展。
That creates a potentially powerful loop: AI helps design better hardware, better hardware supports more powerful AI, and those systems can then help develop what comes next.

从 AlphaChip 到估值达 40 亿美元的初创公司 Ricursive——Goldie 和 Mirhoseini 还共同创立了 Google 的机器学习系统团队（ML for Systems）。他们两人都曾是 Anthropic 的早期员工，同时也是 Google DeepMind 的高级研究科学家。
From AlphaChip to a $4 billion startup Goldie and Mirhoseini also co-founded Google’s ML for Systems team. Both were early employees at Anthropic and senior staff research scientists at Google DeepMind.
Ricursive 的创始人兼首席执行官 Goldie 拥有斯坦福大学的计算机科学博士学位，并被《MIT Technology Review》评为“35岁以下最具创新力的 35 人”之一。Mirhoseini 是斯坦福大学的计算机科学助理教授，同时也是该校“Scaling Intelligence Lab”项目的创始人。
Goldie, Ricursive’s founder and CEO, holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford and was named one of MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35. Mirhoseini, founder and CTO, is an assistant professor of computer science at Stanford and founder of its Scaling Intelligence Lab. They launched Ricursive in late 2025, and investors moved quickly. Within four months, the company had raised $335 million at a $4 billion valuation, including a $300 million Series A. Nvidia is among its investors.
Ricursive 于 2025 年底成立，投资者们反应迅速：在短短四个月内，该公司就筹集到了 3.35 亿美元的资金，其估值达到了 40 亿美元（其中 A 轮融资金额为 3 亿美元），Nvidia 也是其投资者之一。
Ricursive wants AI to automate more of the complex chip-design process, from component placement through design verification, and learn across designs as it goes. By accelerating chip design, Goldie and Mirhoseini believe they can open the door to new chip architecture and ultimately more capable and efficient AI.
Ricursive 的目标是让人工智能自动化更多复杂的芯片设计流程（从元件布局到设计验证），并在设计过程中不断学习与优化。通过加速芯片设计过程，Goldie 和 Mirhoseini 认为这将为新的芯片架构以及更强大、更高效的人工智能技术铺平道路。
See where AI and hardware development could be heading next. for Disrupt to hear Goldie and Mirhoseini discuss the technology, bottlenecks, and self-improving systems behind Ricursive’s approach.
想要了解人工智能与硬件开发的未来发展方向吗？快来参加 Disrupt 活动，聆听 Goldie 和 Mirhoseini 对相关技术的讲解，以及他们所提出的解决方案（包括如何克服技术瓶颈以及实现系统自我优化）。人工智能与硬件之间的协同发展速度能有多快？
How fast can the AI-hardware loop move? AI models have advanced rapidly, but the hardware underneath them operates on a different development cycle. Ricursive is betting that AI can help narrow that gap.
虽然人工智能模型发展迅速，但其背后的硬件系统却遵循着不同的开发周期。Ricursive 相信人工智能能够帮助缩小这一差距。
At Disrupt, Goldie and Mirhoseini bring the perspective of researchers who helped prove AI could design real-world chips and are now building a company around taking that idea further. For founders, investors, and technology leaders, it’s a chance to understand why the speed of chip development could play a major role in what AI can do next.
