Yet another startup wants to crack the LLM code but this time using light; optical pioneer Oriole Networks wants to train LLMs 100x faster with a fraction of the power x

A couple of years ago, Israeli startup CogniFiber made headlines with Deeplight, a fiber-optic cable which could, “process complex algorithms within the fiber itself before the signal hits the terminal.” At the time, we warned this technology wouldn’t reach end users in the near future, and was unlikely to appear in laptops or smartphones anytime soon.

However, eeNews Embedded is now reporting on Oriole Networks, a UK-based startup using light for a different purpose – to create efficient networks of AI chips.
