![]() We just don’t have the hardware that can run those algorithms.” What’s frustrating is that we have the software to address monumental, revolutionary problems that humans can’t even begin to solve. We can interact with computers in natural language and ask them to write a piece of code or even an essay, and the output will be better than most humans could provide. “It’s an incredible time to be a part of the AI industry,” said Marcus Gomez, CEO and co-founder, Luminous. Luminous is building the supercomputer that satisfies those demands. ![]() The AI community knows how to deliver all of these capabilities from an algorithmic perspective, but more compute, bandwidth and memory are desperately needed. Despite substantial progress made towards those goals, the world is still waiting for these superhuman applications. ![]() Silicon Valley is on the verge of delivering ubiquitous access to the kinds of capabilities that showed up 30 years ago in Star Trek: eliminating car accidents with self-driving cars, detecting and curing diseases through highly personalized drug discovery and automated health analytics, allowing anyone to query the entire database of human knowledge, and letting people talk to computers seamlessly, in real time. The company is backed by Bill Gates, Luke Nosek, Travis Kalanick and Steve Oskoui.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Ma- Luminous Computing announced today that it raised $105M in a Series A round, with participation from investors including Gigafund, Bill Gates, 8090 Partners, Neo, Third Kind Venture Capital, Alumni Ventures Group, Strawberry Creek Ventures, Horsley Bridge, Modern Venture Partners, among others. Mitchell has a PhD from Princeton, is a co-founder of field of neuromorphic photonics, holdsĦ0 publications with over 1200 citations and coauthored the standard textbook on Neuromorphic Photonics. Marcus is a former researcher at Google, Tinder, Stanford, Harvard Med School, and the Mayo Clinic. Michael won the USA Math Olympiad and became millionaire at the age of 16 and raised $5.5M Series A for his previous startup, acquired by Google. The company has been funded by Marcus Vincent Gomez (CEO), Michael Gao (CSO) and Mitchell Nahmias (Phd, CTO). Research half of R&D is complete and first products are being tested. Luminous technical team already solved every open problem in the photonic compute industry. The company believes that photonics should not be only used for AI chip but for any kind of chip and would allow to completely reinvent data centres. The key specs for any AI chip are energy, throughput, and latency. Most startups promise 10x on one of them. The use of light allows a massive improvement in terms of speed and quantity of data to be transferred. Its technology is based on photonic computing: the use of light to transfer information within a chip instead of electricity as currently used in all the chips on the market. Luminous Computing is not just an AI company, it is a computing company. It regroups the most powerful team of engineers of Silicon Valley and is backed by the biggest visionaries to built the next generation of AI chips, a "GPU" killer that would represent a supercomputer in a single chip. Luminous Computing has been founded to realize the technologies Silicon Valley promised us ten and twenty and thirty years ago. Artificial Intelligence Luminous Computing
