A wafer-scale AI-chip firm (inference-focused, an NVIDIA alternative; returns not tracked at this private stage). It sells inference to cloud and enterprises, sitting atop its equipment and wafer suppliers (MKS, SUMCO, Applied). It benefits as demand for an alternative to NVIDIA monopoly grows, though its structural bet on a single giant chip is still being validated.
