Machine-learning system based on light could yield more powerful, efficient large language models
An MIT machine-learning system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.

I've suspected for a few years now that optoelectronics is where this is all headed. It's exciting to watch as important foundations are set on that path, and this was one of them.
