CogniFiber, an Israeli startup developing photonic computing technology for AI, has raised $5 million in a funding round led by Chartered Group and Eastern Epic Capital. The company is developing DeepLight processors that use multi-core optical fibers to process data at the speed of light, aiming to increase processing speeds up to 1,000 times during AI inference while using only about 1% of the energy. The new funding will support the completion of the photonic processors development and the ongoing development of a photonic supercomputer slated for market entry by 2027.

CogniFiber, a deep technology company specializing in photonic computing, has announced a breakthrough in its product integration tests. The companys pure-photonics system is expected to reach a speed of 100 million tasks per second, far surpassing competitors like NVIDIA and Lightmatter. This, along with modest power consumption, allows for the deployment of powerful computing resources. The companys technology also significantly reduces cooling and operational overhead, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for data centers.

Cognifiber, a company specializing in photonic computing, has developed a glass-based photonic chip for edge computing. The chip, which is a fraction of the size of previous designs, can bring server-grade capabilities to the edge. Cognifiber aims to increase compute capabilities at the edge, reducing reliance on the cloud and improving real-time operation. The company claims its in-fiber processing can boost performance by 100 times and decrease AI/ML training cost by 80%. Cognifiber recently raised $6 million in series A funding and plans to bring a full system to market by the end of 2023.

CogniFiber, an Israeli startup, has closed a $6 million round A of funding to develop its proprietary technology, Deeplight, which enables fiber-optic cables to process complex algorithms within the fiber itself. The company expects to launch its full system prototype in April 2022 and will showcase it at the CLEO international conference in May 2022. The technology is primarily aimed at the AI industry in data centers and research, offering a 100x performance improvement compared to Nvidias current champion. CogniFiber plans to scale performance through many-core fibers, multiple wavelengths, and adding more racks. The company also aims to achieve high energy efficiency, with its trainable photonic auto-encoder neural network system expected to consume only 500W. The beta stage is expected in Q1 2023, with commercial products available by the end of 2023 at a price of nearly $1 million USD.
