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 ...

Using a new technique that can create vacancies at any site across a material and then shrink it to about 1/2,000 of its ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Lumai, a spin-out from the UK's University of Oxford working on a radical optical computing approach to artificial intelligence (AI) that goes beyond integrated photonics, says it has secured venture ...

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 ...
