Lucidean raised 18 million dollars in seed funding to commercialize its CohZero platform, a breakthrough in optical interconnects for AI-scale data centers. The technology provides coherent-class performance for multi-terabit networks while operating within the lower power and cost envelopes of standard IMDD systems. By enabling 3.2 Tbps and 6.4 Tbps transceivers without heavy DSP overhead, this architecture addresses the critical power bottleneck in scaling GPU clusters. This innovation provides a clear path to the massive backend fabrics required for the next generation of trillion-parameter models. 🚀 🌐 📉
