​SiPh : Powering the AI era

​

​In the AI era, compute is power. SiPh might be the leap to unlock it.

​As model sizes and data workloads grow, traditional interconnects are reaching their limits. SiPh, by integrating optical communication into chip design, offers a new paradigm for computing architecture—and a major opportunity for global AI infrastructure.

​In this AI Online Happy Hour, we bring together Ayar Labs, a SiPh unicorn from the US, and Rayleigh Vision, a rising startup from Taiwan, to explore how SiPh is shaping the future of compute—and what it means for Taiwan’s next move.

​🎯 Discussion Highlights
● Why is silicon photonics (SiPh) considered a key enabler for scaling AI computing infrastructure?

​● How will SiPh reshape computing architectures and system design in the AI era?

​● What are the technical bottlenecks and breakthrough opportunities for scaling compute power with SiPh—and how might Taiwan position itself in this transformation?
