Proud to be part of the 19 industry leaders coming together through the Open Compute Project Foundation to build a shared, open reference architecture for photonic interconnects, turning co-packaged optics from concept into hyperscale reality. Scaling next-generation AI infrastructure depends on exactly this: open standards, interoperability, and deep industry collaboration. Congratulations to Lightmatter for helping organize the coalition, and to everyone building toward the photonic future of AI. #SiliconPhotonics #AIInfrastructure #OpenComputeProject #CoPackagedOptics
19 industry leaders and innovators. A blueprint for the photonic future of AI. A new Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) workstream has been launched by a rapidly expanding community. Its mission: Develop a shared, Modular Hardware System (MHS)-based reference architecture for photonic interconnects. The blueprint is laid out in the group’s foundational whitepaper, “Architecture Vision: Open Silicon Photonics for AI Systems.” Now poised to turn co-packaged optics (CPO), its predecessors (NPO, XPO and CPX) and successor (photonic interposers) from concepts into hyperscale reality, this collaboration has expanded with nine new companies joining across every layer of the AI infrastructure hardware stack. Lightmatter is proud to have played a lead role in organizing this coalition and grateful to every member for the expertise and commitment they've brought to this work. These are the companies building the world's largest AI data centers.
