SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - NEye Systems, a startup developing a new kind of networking chip for artificialintelligence data centers, on Thursday raised $58 million in venture financing in a round led by CapitalG, a growth-stage fund backed by Alphabet.
Emeryville, California-based nEye is developing a chip that taps optical technology to send information between AI chips in the form of light rather than electrical signals, a field that chip giants such as Nvidia and startups alike are chasing because it could lower energy use for AI data centers.
