We recently gathered for an offsite event, where we had the chance to welcome our newest team members and reconnect with the entire company. Taking the chance to step back and reflect on our big-picture goals, spark meaningful discussions, and gain clarity on our shared vision, we continue to rally and deliver on our plan to make optical I/O a reality at scale. And a special thanks to Playground Global for hosting us and Hope Timberlake for stopping by as a guest speaker!

With new technology comes a slew of new terms and technical concepts. Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve or just getting started, here are some terms commonly used in the world of optical I/O. Term of the week: Tokens – The fundamental units of text or data AI models process to understand and generate language. The number of tokens in a piece of text affects the model’s processing capacity and computational requirements. https://bit.ly/3XZtin6 #optical #photonics #semiconductor #AI

In the military, interconnected systems will enable optimally coordinated responses in fast-changing situations. Success will hinge on the ability of systems to share and process ever-increasing amounts of real-time data without interference. To ensure optimal outcomes, the military needs a new generation of systems and the sensors that enable them. Check out Lockheed Martin's take on the potential of silicon photonics in interconnected systems in our latest paper. https://bit.ly/4eAWoPs #semiconductor #optical #photonics #aerospace #WDM #phasedarray #radar #beamforming
