Intelligence is not added on, but arises directly from structure.
AI Acceleration Redefined
BREAK THE MEMORY WALL
LOW LATENCY
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
SCALABILITY
Chip-scale photonic neural networks combining in-memory computing, one-shot inference, ~400M params/mm² computing density, and foundry-compatible manufacturing
The power of
Photonic Neural Network (PNN)
Weights are encoded in nanophotonic structures; the neural transformation happens in one optical pass as light propagates through the chip.
