About
Euclyd is a European semiconductor systems company building ultra-efficient infrastructure for foundation AI models. Headquartered at High Tech Campus Eindhoven in the Netherlands, the company was founded in 2024 by former ASML director Bernardo Kastrup and semiconductor veteran Atul Sinha, alongside co-founders Gerard Egelmeers, Ingolf Held, and Harm Peters.
At the core of Euclyd's roadmap are craftwerk, described as the world's first agentic AI silicon, and the CWS 32, an exascale AI factory targeting one exaflop of compute in a rack-scale form factor. The platform combines programmable ASIC compute, processor-memory co-design, and system-level optimization to overcome the memory and efficiency walls limiting current AI infrastructure. Euclyd claims up to 100x greater power efficiency for inference workloads compared to Nvidia's latest Vera Rubin chips, based on modeled projections against Meta's Llama 4 Maverick.
The company targets enterprise, sovereign, and hyperscale AI markets through two business lines: selling physical hardware and rack systems directly to enterprises for secure on-site AI inference, and licensing its IP to firms wanting to build their own chips. Commercial deployment is planned for 2028. Notable backers include former ASML CEO Peter Wennink (now Chairman of the Board), Federico Faggin (designer of the Intel 4004), and Steven Schuurman (founder of Elastic). In September 2026, Euclyd announced a strategic collaboration with Ferroelectric Memory Company (FMC) to develop secure, sovereign AI infrastructure for Europe.
