Optical AI processor to cut data centre power consumption

Researchers at MIT in the US and the Technische Universitat Berlin have built a optical neural network processor with embedded lasers that slashes the power consumption of large language model AI such as GPT4.0. Chen, Hamerly, and Englund have filed for a patent on the work, which was sponsored by the US Army Research Office and NTT Research in Japan as well as the Volkswagen Foundation in Germany.
