Salience Lab is developing a next generation AI compute solution. We use photonic computing on-chip to achieve orders of magnitude performance improvement in AI inference. The technology, published in the prestigious Nature journal in 2020, enables novel next-generation computing systems that process data using photons (light) rather than electrons (electricity). This approach has the potential to significantly reduce power requirements while delivering on-chip processing speeds up to 1,000 times greater than the existing state-of-the-art, thereby facilitating a seismic shift in the hardware required to fully exploit the capabilities of AI.
