(via Lightmatter joins NVIDIA NVLink Fusion and powers next-generation AI infrastructure with photonic interconnects)
Lightmatter joined the Nvidia NVLink⢠Fusion ecosystem! Frontier AI models are outgrowing electrical links. The integration of Passage photonics with NVIDIAâs architecture enables hyperscalers to build the highest-bandwidth, lowest-power AI factories.
(via Lightmatter unveils Guide DR, the AI Industries first liquid-cooled laser NIC that quadruples rack density)
This isnât just a product updateâitâs a fundamental rethink of how light powers the data center. The future of AI infrastructure is cooler, faster, and more efficient.
Lightmatter officially unveiled Guide DR, the industryâs first liquid-cooled laser NIC that quadruples fiber bandwidth density. Designed for OCP compatibility, the new in-chassis light engine eliminates the faceplate bottleneck, powering up to 51.2 Tbps of optical bandwidth for AI scale-up.
The laser is to optical interconnect what batteries are to EVs. The industryâs âpower wallâ is real, and CPO lasers need a new scaling engine. Guide DR, is the industryâs first liquid-cooled laser NIC, offering 4X the rack density of conventional pluggable lasers.
To power the CPO bandwidth and rack density required to train and use frontier AI models, theyâve moved the external light source from the faceplate into the chassis, leveraging the existing liquid cooling infrastructure.

WATCH - The General Robotics Intelligence Grid for Physical AI in action. This is the future of training robots at scale. âToday, deploying a robot means stitching together numerous systems that were never designed to work together. To be truly useful, robots need a unified intelligence infrastructure." â Sai Vemprala, CTO General Robotics The robotics industry has entered a new era of hardware maturity. Humanoids, mobile manipulators, industrial arms, aerial drones, and autonomous platforms are shipping from an ever-expanding ecosystem of OEMs. Form factors are diversifying, foundation models are improving, and the pace of new entrants continues to accelerate. Despite this progress, the path from working prototype to operationally skilled robot remains one of the most significant challenges in the industry. The central impediment to that goal is not a lack of capable AI â it is fragmentation. Teams must integrate perception models, control policies, simulation environments, data pipelines, and fine-tuning infrastructure across toolchains that were never designed to work together. That effort often has to be repeated for every new robot, environment, or task.
