Blacksmith 融资 6600 万美元做更快 CI 云，估值达 10 亿美元
30 人团队靠游戏 CPU 做 CI 云，一年涨 20 倍，刚融 6600 万美元，把测试等待从几分钟压到几秒。
YC 孵化的 Blacksmith 完成 6600 万美元 C 轮融资，估值 10 亿美元。公司专注为持续集成（CI）提供更快云服务，过去一年增长 20 倍。创始人最初用游戏电脑同款高性能 CPU 和 Minecraft、Call of Duty 服务器起家，如今团队仅 30 人，帮客户把 CI 等待时间从几分钟降到几秒。随着 AI 编程工具生成更多代码，测试和验证成为新瓶颈。
Blacksmith (W24) is building a faster cloud for continuous integration (CI), helping developers test and ship code as AI coding tools generate more of it. As software production accelerates, testing and validation are becoming the new bottleneck. That shift has helped @useblacksmith grow 20x over the last year, and the company recently raised a $66 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation. The founders, @adijayaprakash , @aayush_shah15 , and @adityamaru27 , started as outsiders to DevOps and built their first infrastructure using the same high-performance CPUs found in gaming PCs, renting servers originally designed for Minecraft and Call of Duty. Today, they run a much larger fleet with a team of just 30 people, helping companies cut CI waits from minutes to seconds. They share how they found the idea, won their first 200 customers, and why faster testing will become even more important as agents write more of the world’s code. 00:00 — Making CI Faster With Gaming CPUs 03:46 — Winning Over Investors and Developers 06:46 — Scaling CI for the AI Coding Era Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 💬 46 🔄 23 ❤️ 179 👀 27213 📊 57 ⚡
