About

At Neurophos, we’re leading the way towards a scalable and efficient AI future. Our goal is to enable faster, smarter, and more energy-efficient AI, starting with the datacenter and extending to the edge. We are revolutionizing the foundation of inference with our Optical Processing Unit (OPU). By miniaturizing core optical modulators by a factor of 10,000, we've unlocked the potential of 3D photonic computing: achieving the performance of a GPU rack in a fraction of the size and power. We are actively hiring pioneers in hardware, photonics, and AI to bring the OPU to market. Join us to shape the future of computing.
