Using proprietary silicon photonics technology to eliminate data movement bottlenecks at every scale, Luminous is completely re-imagining how AI computers are built, resulting not only in order-of-magnitude improvements in performance, but also in drastic simplifications to the programming model. Luminous’ core differentiation comes from the fact that it is building nearly every part of the stack from the ground up, integrating expertise from a diversity of domains. Specifically, Luminous is actively recruiting photonics designers, digital and analog VLSI engineers, packaging and system integration engineers, and machine learning experts. The funding will primarily go towards doubling the size of the Luminous engineering team, building out Luminous’ custom chips and software, and gearing up for commercial-scale production. We just don’t have the hardware that can run those algorithms.”

What’s frustrating is that we have the software to address monumental, revolutionary problems that humans can’t even begin to solve. We can interact with computers in natural language and ask them to write a piece of code or even an essay, and the output will be better than most humans could provide. “It’s an incredible time to be a part of the AI industry,” said Marcus Gomez, CEO and co-founder, Luminous. Luminous is trying to build the world’s most powerful AI supercomputer. MOUNTAIN VIEW - Luminous Computing has raised $105 million in a Series A round, with participation from investors including Gigafund, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 8090 Partners, Neo, Third Kind Venture Capital, Alumni Ventures Group, Strawberry Creek Ventures, Horsley Bridge, Modern Venture Partners, and others.
