LightRail AI Product Launch

About this event

About Event Photonic Computing: Unveiling Next-Gen AI Infrastructure A Faster, Cooler, and More Energy-Efficient Datacenter Architecture Traditional AI compute has collided with a physical wall: electrical copper interconnects consume extreme power, generate critical thermal heat, and leave up to 70% of GPU compute capacity idling while waiting on data. Meanwhile, power grids face massive interconnection queues and saturation, making energy efficiency the defining bottleneck for the next decade of AI scaling. Join LightRail AI and Kyle Valiton of Informal Spaces for an exclusive evening demonstrating how we replace electrical copper with light. We will explore the shift to optical interconnects, co-packaged optics (CPO), Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) modulators, and kernel-level software orchestration (Fabric OS) designed to raise cluster utilization and drastically reduce datacenter energy footprints.Keynote Speaker Founder & CEO, LightRail AI Architect of LightRail AI’s full-stack optical intelligence platform. Bringing extensive systems engineering experience across control systems, hyperscale interconnects, and silicon photonics, Bola Olatunji leads the mission to transition modern datacenter architecture from electrons to photon.Technology Showcase & Live Demos Live demonstrations and technical walkthroughs of the LightRail AI architecture, including: Fabric OS Dashboard & Telemetry: Real-time visibility into collective routing, fabric latency, and projected datacenter energy savings. Photonic Hardware Primitives: Engineering overview of the Gen3 NCE modular architecture, detachable fiber arrays (dFAU), and high-density optical routing blades.
