AI Infrastructure
Tessellate
A quietly radical approach to making AI compute feel less like a commodity and more like a creative material.
What they do
Tessellate is building a more expressive layer for teams working with complex AI workloads — a place where computation can be designed, observed, and adapted instead of simply purchased.
Why I’m interested
I’m interested in companies that make technical infrastructure feel legible to the people making creative decisions. That shift changes who gets to shape the product.
My take
The best infrastructure companies don’t just win on speed or price. They change the mental model. Tessellate has the rare chance to make AI systems feel less opaque without sanding away their depth.
The question I’m watching
Can the product remain opinionated as it expands from early technical believers to everyone else?
