Lightmatter InterConnect 2026 | The Future of AI Runs on Light
At InterConnect 2026, Lightmatter welcomed top analysts, investors, media and ecosystem partners to our new headquarters in downtown Mountain View, California for an inside look at the photonic future of AI infrastructure.
This keynote presentation explores how photonic interconnects, DWDM BiDi networking, co-packaged optics, and large-scale laser systems can unlock the next era of AI scaling across training and inference.
Topics include:
• Frontier AI power and networking challenges
• Passage photonic interconnect technology
• AI training and inference scaling
• Scale-up, scale-out, and photonic topologies
• EVK50, EVK100, and M1000 platforms
• Guide DR laser systems and VLSP roadmap
• The future of CPO and photonic networking
Hosted at Lightmatter’s new Mountain View campus, featuring live demos, validation labs, and next-generation photonic systems built for AI at scale.
