   Nvidia backs Upscale AI's heterogeneous compute networking push

   Upscale AI, a startup with Nvidia as a strategic investor and technology supplier, has unveiled Token Fabric, a full-stack AI networking platform meant to let data centers run accelerators from Nvidia, AMD, Intel and Chinese vendors side by side. Its in-rack scale-up layer uses Upscale's own SkyFabriX switch chip and supports the UALink and ESUN open interconnect standards, while the cross-cluster scale-out backbone is built on Nvidia's Spectrum-X Ethernet, paired with the SkyOS network OS and SkyCMD operations tooling. The report says phase one is slated for Q4 2026 with the full platform rolling out in stages during 2027, and that Upscale AI raised a $190 million extension in June 2026 led by Premji Invest with Nvidia, Temasek and Salesforce participating, bringing total funding to $500 million at a $2 billion valuation.

   Nvidia-backed Upscale AI launches Token Fabric to link chips from rival vendors

   Upscale AI, a Santa Clara networking startup backed by Nvidia, launched Token Fabric, a platform built on open standards such as UALink and Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking that can put GPUs, custom AI chips and network cards from different suppliers on the same network. Reuters reported the platform combines Upscale's own scale-up switch chip, SkyFabriX, with scale-out switches based on Nvidia's Spectrum-X Ethernet chips, plus SkyOS and SkyCMD software that runs and monitors the network and can flag bottlenecks and hardware needing replacement. Upscale said the first part ships in the fourth quarter with the rest rolling out through 2027, and general availability in early 2027; CEO Barun Kar told Reuters he expects revenue in the tens of millions of dollars next year, possibly reaching the low hundreds of millions.
