Neurophos OPU

Neurophos announced its Optical Processing Unit (OPU), a photonic AI chip achieving 0.47 ExaOPS at 300 TOPS/W, claiming 10,000x size reduction over traditional photonic tensor cores. The company says a single tray of 8 OPUs outperforms a 3,000 lbs GPU rack while consuming only 10 kW, with evaluations starting in 2026 and production in 2028.
