IBM optics

Speed of light for generative AI

As AI accelerates, so does the need for speed. And nothing moves faster than light. IBM is engineering fibre-optic chips that channel this pure velocity, pushing computation into an entirely new realm.

This film tells a micro-story inside the world of these components—where data becomes light, and light becomes possibility.
