• Neurophos develops the Tulkas T100 optical processor capable of 470 petaFLOPS AI compute
• Optical transistors are 10,000 times smaller than conventional silicon photonics today
• Dual reticle design integrates 768GB of HBM for memory-intensive workloads

Austin-based startup Neurophos has revealed it is hard at work developing an optical processing unit called the Tulkas T100 which promises huge leaps forward in compute.
