Inference startup Infinity raises $15M from Touring Capital, OpenAI and Athropic researchers

AI infrastructure startup Infinity has raised $15 million in new funding at a $100 million valuation, according to a monitored public feed citing TechCrunch. The round included support from Touring Capital, Principal VC, and researchers affiliated with companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.

The company’s latest financing highlights continued investor interest in tools and systems built to support AI inference, the process of running trained models in production. While the feed summary offers limited detail on the company’s product plans or use of proceeds, the raise suggests Infinity is positioning itself as part of the fast-growing infrastructure layer behind generative AI applications.

Infinity’s backers include a mix of venture firms and technical researchers, a combination that can signal confidence in both the startup’s commercial prospects and its technical direction. The participation of researchers from major AI labs also reflects the close overlap between frontier model development and the infrastructure companies working to make those models faster, cheaper, and more scalable to deploy.

The reported $100 million valuation places Infinity among a wave of young AI infrastructure startups attracting capital as demand grows for specialized compute, optimization, and deployment tools. Investors have continued to fund companies targeting the unglamorous but essential layers of the AI stack, where performance gains can translate into lower operating costs and better user experiences for model-driven products.
