Lightmatter made a big splash a couple of years ago by presenting an AI accelerator, Mars, that rethought the paradigm of how electronics compute and move data. They presented a processor that used photonics for compute. This chip promised multiple orders of magnitude improvement in latency, bandwidth, and power. This ultimately was unsuccessful due to the rigidity of the software and compute structure involved with the chip. Lightmatter has created a 2nd generation of this AI compute produc...
