PCB design and manufacturing as code
Joined May 2024
We’re proud to announce our $11.4 million Series A, led by @a16z, with the continued support of @ycombinator, @caffeinatedcap and @BoxGroup. We are working with Fortune 100 companies and fast growing startups to design and manufacture their circuit boards faster than ever.

We worked with @AnthropicAI to teach Claude how to be a better electrical engineer. Claude 4.5 is the first frontier model trained with our data, and we saw a major improvement in both accuracy and speed for electrical reference design generation. Huge thanks to @cojennin and
claude.com
Anthropic partnered with Diode Computers to improve Claude's ability to auto-generate PCB reference designs in the Zener language, with measurable gains in Sonnet 4.5.
this was a really fun bit of work I got to do with the incredibly cracked folks at @diodeinc!

We sat down with @sdianahu to talk about diode and the technical challenges we had to solve to run a PCB compiler on air gapped systems. If you think running rust in the browser with web assembly and edge routing algorithms are fun: come work with us
Congrats to @diodeinc on raising a $11.4 M Series A! They build AI that automates circuit design with customers incl. a F100 company and physical intelligence. 1/9 story on how @lennykhazan and @davideasnaghi applied to YC with just an idea still in their jobs, but that first

.@diodeinc is using AI to design circuit boards, simplifying messy, slow workflows. We’re excited to invest in Diode to scale manufacturing of hardtech in the US. Circuit boards are in every smartphone, medical device, and fighter jet. Better circuit design means more of the
Exciting news on @diodeinc published on Business Insider today. 1/ We raised capital! Over $14.5m, most recently in a $11.4m series A round led by @a16z (details below) 2/ We are working with fortune 100 companies and fast growing startups. If you are building hardware, we want

Best suggestion gets Diode merch
I'm giving a guest lecture at Berkeley on chip manufacturing. If you were a EECS student, what would be the wildest / unbelievable industry story you'd want to hear? - Shockley and the traitorous 8 - Carver Mead and Lynn Conway - How intel developed EUV + ASML

Thank you @sdianahu and @ycombinator for featuring @diodeinc on @LightconePod! “But the thing that they demonstrated now with O1 was actually able to do the system design and component selection, which is crazy.”

We are experimenting with waterproofing PCBs. And this project is one of my favorites. 🌱You can use a PCB-based soil moisture sensor to keep plants happy and healthy. This I2C sensor is packed with features—capacitance, light, and temperature readings—all on a single board
