About

Photonic computing for AI acceleration. Lightmatter takes the most radical architectural approach in this list: photonic computing that performs computation with light rather than electrons, with the goal of dramatically reducing energy consumption and latency for AI workloads. The company has raised over $850 million total funding for the development of photonic chips and interconnects, positioning itself for the post-Moore's-Law era of AI compute.
