Development History
-
Lightelligence Inc. was incorporated in the United States
-
-
We released our first photonic computing prototype, which successfully ran a Google TensorFlow model to process the MNIST dataset, validating our optical computing approach.
-
-
We launched the PACE photonic computing processor, integrating over 10,000 photonic devices and supporting a 64×64 matrix operation, demonstrating computing speeds hundreds of times faster than contemporary high-end GPUs on specific algorithms.
-
-
Our PACE photonic computing processor secured its first customer and generated revenue, marking the commencement of the commercialization of our optical computing business.
-
-
We announced OptiHummingbird, our first hardware product utilizing Optical Network on Chip (oNOC) technology, at the Hot Chips conference.
-
-
We achieved initial commercialization of our optical interconnect business.
-
-
We released PACE 2, an optoelectronic computing accelerator card, integrating over 40,000 photonic devices and supporting a 128x128 matrix, marking the first application of our technology in complex commercial models.
We published related research on PACE in Nature.
We jointly launched LightSphere X, the world’s first distributed optical interconnect and optical switching GPU supernode solution, according to Frost & Sullivan. The solution, centered on our all-optical interconnect chip, won the Superior AI Leader (SAIL) Award at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC).
We launched China’s first xPU-CPO co-packaged optics prototype system, co-packaging the optical engine and computing chip (xPU) on the same substrate to shorten transmission distance.
