Chinese scientists have introduced an upgraded optical AI chip, Taichi-II, boasting significant improvements in accuracy and energy efficiency compared to its predecessor. This chip, built on light instead of electronics, could potentially pave the way for the development of powerful artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems.
LightSolver presents the LPU100 optical computer, a desktop-sized device that employs advanced laser interference techniques to perform complex calculations at lightning-fast speeds. This innovative technology offers a low-energy, room-temperature solution for tackling demanding computational problems, making it a practical alternative to resource-intensive quantum computers and supercomputers. The LPU100’s capabilities include vector-matrix multiplication in just 10 nanoseconds, outperforming traditional GPUs by hundreds of times. With its ease of use and affordability, the LPU100 opens up a world of possibilities for advanced computing in finance, aerospace, logistics, manufacturing, and beyond.
