Neurophos secured 110 million dollars in Series A to launch the Tulkas T100 OPU, delivering 470 petaFLOPS at 56 GHz. By using metamaterial transistors 10,000x smaller than silicon photonics, it integrates 768GB of HBM to break the LLM memory wall. This signals a systemic shift toward photonic matrix multiplication with 100x energy efficiency gains over current GPUs. Optical computing is set to redefine the physical limits of AI scaling by 2028. 🚀
