AIPhotonic GPUs and the prospect of AI computing with light
A user says a few people working in a garage without funding are already building basic infrastructure for photonic GPUs.
TLDR
A user predicts that the next major leap in AI chips will rely on light rather than electrons. They claim photonic GPUs could deliver orders-of-magnitude speed gains with what they describe as “nearly battery level” power needs. The author also says a few people are already building basic infrastructure in a garage without funding.
