Optical Processing Unit (OPU)

Photonic AI Accelerator

The flagship product is the Optical Processing Unit (OPU), a photonic chip that integrates over one million micron-scale optical processing elements. It leverages metasurface modulators to perform matrix-vector multiplication, a fundamental operation in AI inference, using light instead of electricity to achieve superior performance.

  • Offers up to 100x improvements in performance and energy efficiency over traditional GPUs
  • Operates at 56 GHz, delivering 235 Peta Operations per Second (POPS) with a power consumption of 675 watts
  • Features extremely small optical elements, enabling massive parallelism
  • Designed to be compatible with standard silicon manufacturing processes, facilitating scalable production
