By working at the nexus of 3D optics and machine learning, we are on a mission to provide an exponential leap in AI inference performance, with the lowest energy and lowest total-cost-of-ownership.

By using 3D optical computing, we are enabling AI deployment at scale – with the fastest, most energy-efficient AI processor.
