Overview

Ayo Semiconductor designs and prototype photonic processors that use light to perform AI computations. Instead of relying only on electronic transistors, their integrated photonic circuits process information with photons, aiming to run AI workloads faster and with less energy than today’s GPU-based systems. The company’s approach centers on building integrated photonic circuits and hardware for AI compute, offering a different path from traditional electronics to increase throughput and reduce power use. The goal is to enable significantly faster and more energy-efficient AI processing by bringing photonics into practical AI hardware.
