Lightmatter joins NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem to advance optical interconnects for AI infrastructure. Lightmatter has announced its entry into the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem, in a move aimed at accelerating the adoption of high-performance optical connectivity in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The collaboration will see Lightmatter develop co-packaged optics (CPO) and near-packaged optics (NPO) solutions compatible with NVIDIA's optical and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) technologies. These products are intended to improve connectivity between processing units and networking components in large-scale AI systems. By adapting its bi-directional optical link architecture to align with NVIDIA's platform, Lightmatter is working towards a unified interconnect framework for so-called "AI factories". The approach is designed to reduce the need for fibre and connectors by up to 50 per cent, while enabling high-bandwidth links between semiconductors from multiple suppliers within the NVLink Fusion ecosystem. Nick Harris, founder and chief executive of Lightmatter, said: "This is what the next era of AI infrastructure looks like. By integrating Passage CPO solutions with NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion architecture, we are combining the industry's most advanced AI platform and the world's leading interconnect to unleash generations of leading frontier AI models."
