About Integrated Reasoning
Integrated Reasoning designs processors for optimization problems such as airline crew scheduling and packing goods into shipping containers. These belong to a class called NP-complete problems, where the work needed to find the best answer grows very quickly with problem size. The company builds chips around the memory access patterns of this class of problem rather than using general-purpose CPUs, and claims speedups of 100 to 10,000 times, a figure from its own materials. It joined Y Combinator in the Summer 2022 batch and was founded in 2021 by David Cox. Y Combinator lists its location as San Diego, California, not San Francisco.
Integrated Reasoning was founded in 2021 and is based in San Francisco, CA, United States. It is listed under ASICs. Reported funding is YC-backed.

What Integrated Reasoning works on
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
