Original: Salience Labs raises $125M to scale photonic chips for AI data centres
Salience Labs has raised $125 million to scale up production of photonic chips designed for AI data centres. The Oxford-based startup is working on optical interconnect technology that uses light rather than electrical signals to move data, an approach aimed at cutting power consumption and easing bottlenecks as AI computing demand grows. The funding round puts the company among a wave of photonics firms attracting large investments from backers betting on the next generation of data centre hardware.
Why now: Investors and the AI industry are watching photonics as a promising way to reduce the energy and bandwidth limits of conventional chips in data centres.
