With our new $400M Series D funding round, backed by T. Rowe Price, GV (Google Ventures), Fidelity Investments, and others, we are excited to expedite the roll-out of our photonic engine Passage™ within partner data centers by the end of next year. “The interconnect layer or layers are really what turn racks of CPUs and GPUs into effectively one giant machine — so it follows that the faster the interconnect, the faster the datacenter. And it is looking like Lightmatter builds the fastest interconnect layer by a long shot, by using the photonic chips it’s been developing since 2018. ‘Photonics is coming way faster than people thought — people have been struggling to get it working for years, but we’re there,’” said our co-founder and CEO, Nicholas Harris, in an interview with TechCrunch.

We’re excited to announce that Lightmatter has raised $400M in its Series D round led by T. Rowe Price, with participation from GV (Google Ventures), and Fidelity Investments, alongside other existing investors. This latest round will be used to scale Passage™ for broad deployment within partner data centers and prepare computing infrastructure for the demands of next-generation AI models. Our co-founder and CEO, Nicholas Harris on this milestone: “We’re not just advancing AI infrastructure—we’re reinventing it. With Passage, the world’s fastest photonic engine, we’re setting a new standard for performance and breaking through the barriers that limit AI computing. This funding accelerates our ability to scale, delivering the supercomputers of tomorrow today.” https://lnkd.in/gUi4ARbe

“It is increasingly likely that a final process node will exist with the best-known lithographic technology. Beyond this node, the economic cost and performance gain will no longer be commensurate. This slowdown presents a significant challenge at a time when the demand for more powerful computation, particularly for AI applications, has never been greater.” Read more from Lightmatter CEO Nicholas Harris on the future of datacenter-scale chips and the path to artificial superintelligence, and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gYVMVFcp

Nicholas Harris, CEO and Co-founder of Lightmatter delivered an insightful keynote at the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS) 2024 in Boston, captivating an audience of 1,000 attendees from diverse sectors, including packaging technologists, equipment vendors, OSAT, and material suppliers. His presentation tackled the pressing challenges posed by the growing compute and data bandwidth demands driven by generative AI, highlighting traditional technologies' limitations. Harris articulated a compelling vision for Silicon Photonics as a crucial solution to meet these performance needs. He emphasized how Lightmatter’s optical interconnect technologies, Passage, are uniquely positioned to connect hundreds of thousands of chips within a high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect framework. His talk underscored the critical role of innovative technologies in advancing the future of computing and data transmission. Concluding his presentation, Harris asked the packaging community to focus on the technology building blocks necessary to bring Silicon Photonics to high-volume manufacturing. His call to action highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation in achieving scalable solutions for the future.
