AI datacenters face a major bottleneck in data transfer between GPUs, limiting compute efficiency. Optical circuit switches that keep data moving as light could reduce this bottleneck. Datacenter operators would pay to increase the useful compute output of their existing hardware. Start with a prototype switch for small-scale AI clusters. The biggest risk is competing with established hardware vendors.
