An in-chip microfluidic cooling company that uses AI for its designs has raised $25 million.

Corintis said that Applied Digital led the investment round, which brought the Swiss-based business’s total funding to $58m. Applied Digital began as a cryptomining company, but has since pivoted to AI and HPC workloads, backed by Macquarie Asset Management.

Instead of traditional cold plate technologies, Corintis is developing a system to push coolant through tiny channels etched into chips, with the AI designs bio-inspired, somewhat akin to the veins on a butterfly’s wing…
