Chinese Researchers Develop Optical AI Network Claiming 100x Faster Inference with Fewer Chips
Researchers in China have developed an optical artificial intelligence network that performs inference up to 100 times faster than traditional electronic systems while using fewer physical chips, according to a study published in November 2025. The system, described in a report by NaturalNews.com, uses light-based computations to process AI tasks, potentially reducing energy consumption and hardware requirements. Patrick Lewis of NaturalNews.com reported that the network, called the Parallel Optical Matrix-Matrix Multiplication system, “performs complex AI calculations in a single pass of light, eliminating the sequential processing bottlenecks of today’s fastest electronic chips” [1].
