Infinity raises $15M at $100M valuation from OpenAI, Anthropic-linked investors

Infinity, an AI inference infrastructure startup, announced a $15 million funding round that values the company at $100 million. The raise was led by Touring Capital and included participation from researchers formerly associated with leading AI labs OpenAI and Anthropic.

The involvement of AI researchers as investors signals a vote of confidence in Infinity’s technology and market strategy, positioning the startup within the growing ecosystem focused on optimizing AI model deployment and inference workloads.

This round reflects sustained venture capital interest in AI infrastructure companies that address the technical bottlenecks of scaling AI applications, particularly as models grow larger and more computationally demanding.

For founders and investors, Infinity’s raise illustrates the appetite for firms building the backbone of AI services, beyond the headline-grabbing generative AI startups. The $100 million valuation suggests a balanced entry point for growth-stage AI infrastructure companies.

Going forward, Infinity’s ability to leverage its strategic investor base and capitalize on the AI market’s expansion will be key. Investors will watch how the startup scales its product and navigates competition from established cloud providers and emerging AI specialists.
