Everyone thought AI compute was the bottleneck. Turns out, it's the highway *between* the chips. Scintil Photonics believes they've got the answer, and it’s all about light.
NVIDIA isn't waiting. They're yanking co-packaged optics out of the future, slapping it onto their Feynman GPUs for a 2028 debut.
For years, the holy grail of silicon photonics has been to bridge the gap between the speed of light and the economics of silicon chips. Now, a startup led by an MIT physicist is making serious waves, culminating in a significant IPO.
Computing with photons instead of electrons: the emerging field of photonic processors promises orders-of-magnitude improvements in speed and energy efficiency for specific workloads.
