Introducing Photon1

A photonic compute chip

In Development

Designed for AI training and inference with efficiency at scale.

Photon1 targets matrix math in the optical domain — unitary operations performed by interference, with all-optical activation, so the inner loop never leaves the photonic domain.

Built on the same platform as Scale1, and programmed through the same LUMA software stack.
