Xscape is building multicolor lasers to connect chips within datacenters

The GPUs and other chips used to train AI communicate with each other inside datacenters through “interconnects.” But those interconnects have limited bandwidth, which limits AI training performance. A 2022 survey found that AI developers typically struggle to use more than 25% of a GPU’s capacity. One solution could be new interconnects with much higher […]
