Engineering the Future of AI Infrastructure
Ayar Labs is transforming AI scale-up infrastructure with co-packaged optics (CPO) built for high-volume manufacturing. Our TeraPHY™ optical engine, powered by the SuperNova™ external light source, creates optical fabrics that connect thousands of GPUs across racks.
As AI models grow, copper’s reach and bandwidth limits are trapping scale-up architectures inside individual racks. Ayar Labs breaks through these barriers, enabling GPUs to operate as a single unified system with the bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and power efficiency hyperscale AI demands.
