Engineers just built a computer chip that runs on light instead of electricity — moving data with photons to slash the power-hungry AI models burn

A computer chip that calculates with light instead of electrical current has passed a milestone that researchers have chased for decades: it can run real neural-network tasks, on a sliver of silicon, ...

Engineers just built a computer chip that runs on light instead of electricity — moving data with photons to slash the power-hungry bills AI models are running up

A computer chip that processes data as pulses of light rather than electrical signals has, for the first time, run a suite of real AI workloads on a single device. In results published in Nature in ...
