Ayar Labs aims to reduce AI infrastructure bottlenecks using optical innovations. CEO Mark Wade discusses their latest $155M funding round and how they're working with partners like Nvidia, Intel and AMD https://trib.al/nHxUk3O

This is a great infrastructure improvement. If you have a two lane expressway supporting a neighborhood, widening the road will reduce bottlenecks and improve speed. But, no matter how wide you make that expressway, coming into and going out of each house is limited by a driveway. And most of the time, you cannot come in and go out at the same time. This. This is the restriction of von Neumann architecture. So, no matter how you improve the interconnect, there are "driveways" in and out of each core within the most powerful AI processing chips. Whether those cores are GPU, TPU, CPU, or any other PU. This is the benefit that a migration to compute-in-memory from Von Neumann offers. I mean a true compute "in-memory". Not a von Neumann wrapped in a PIM or CIM name. Then optical interconnected freeways can provide even greater benefit by only bringing in the new information that needs to be processed, not moving around the data being processed. Hello neighbor, can I borrow a cup of sugar to make my pie?

Today, Ayar Labs announced it has secured $155 million with investments from AMD, Intel Capital and NVIDIA to address the urgent need for scalable, cost-effective AI Infrastructure. Advent Global Opportunities and Light Street Capital led the Series D to accelerate high volume manufacturing of Ayar Labs’ in-package optical interconnects. Thank you to all of our investors and partners for your support in delivering optical I/O at scale to meet the demands of large-scale AI workloads! https://lnkd.in/gmxsq7JP #optical #photonics #semiconductor #AI

Congratulations to Ayar Labs on the successful completion of its Series D funding round, securing $155 million and propelling the company to unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. This round was co-led by Light Street Capital and Advent, alongside notable industry strategics; AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, 3M Ventures, and Autopilot.   This milestone highlights the growing confidence from strategic investors in Ayar Labs' cutting-edge silicon photonics technology, which uses light instead of traditional copper interconnects for data transmission. The result? Faster speeds, greater power efficiency, and enhanced data transfer capacity, revolutionizing the industry and addressing critical bottlenecks in latency-sensitive applications such as generative AI, high-performance computing and advanced data centers. With this funding, Ayar Labs is poised to accelerate the commercialization of its transformative solutions, driving innovation and enabling the industry to scale AI-powered advancements for the future. #AlternativeInvestments #InvestmentOpportunities #AI #SiliconPhotonics
