Oxford-based Lumai has launched the world’s first optical computing system that can run a ...

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...

Lumai, the optical compute company addressing scalable AI, today announced its Lumai Iris inference server – the world’s first optical computing system to successfully run billion-parameter large ...

Iris Nova runs real-time inference on Llama 8B and 70B using a hybrid processor. The hybrid architecture combines digital ...

Modern communication networks must handle ever-growing volumes of data, driven by cloud services, connected devices, and real ...

A new programmable photonic chip eliminates static power consumption while enabling electrical control, promising ...

Ternary optical computing systems represent an innovative leap beyond traditional binary computation by utilising three discrete logic states. This approach leverages the intrinsic advantages of ...

Lumai has successfully run billion-parameter large language models (LLMs) in real time using its optical computing system, called Lumai Iris. The company claims it is the first time an optical compute ...

For decades there has been near constant progress in reducing the size, and increasing the performance, of the circuits that power computers and smartphones. But Moore’s Law is ending as physical ...

Superconducting qubits—bits of quantum information—have been widely considered a promising technology for moving quantum computing forward. But there's still much work to be done before they can be ...
