Neurophos
Photonic ExaFLOPS AI chips
Neurophos is building AI inference chips that are two orders of magnitude faster and more energy-efficient than state-of-the-art GPUs. Its Optical Processing Unit uses a metasurface compute architecture with tunable optical elements roughly 10,000x smaller than conventional photonic approaches, delivering a step-change in compute density, speed, and power efficiency.
This breakthrough targets the central constraint in AI infrastructure: manufacturing, powering, cooling, and deploying enough compute for hyperscale inference. By increasing compute per chip, per wafer, and per megawatt, Neurophos creates a fundamentally steeper scaling curve for AI.
The company has strong strategic and commercial momentum. Microsoft engaged deeply and invested meaningfully in Neurophos’ 3x oversubscribed $110M Series A. Neurophos is engaged with most hyperscalers and has commercial negotiations underway.
Neurophos has completed its first compute demonstration with a metasurface array and is taping out
