Solving AI's
Energy Crisis.
Placeve's photonic chips deliver up to 1,000x better energy efficiency than the latest generation of GPUs — rewriting the limits of Generative AI.
1,000x Efficiency
Outperforming leading GPUs by three orders of magnitude in energy per compute.
Fourier at Light Speed
Native optical Fourier transforms bypassing the electron bottleneck.
Built in Florida
Headquartered in Gainesville, FL — Florida's photonics research corridor.
The FPU — Fourier Processing Unit
Traditional AI chips are limited by heat and resistance. Our FPU uses photonics to perform high-dimensional matrix multiplications with near-zero heat dissipation.
Speed-of-Light Compute
Zero-latency signal propagation across the die.
Hybrid Integration
Seamlessly compatible with existing CMOS manufacturing.
3.5D Photonic Stacking
A path from planar validation to vertically-stacked photonic compute.
FPU Engine vs. the rest
One FPU processor on a single board is orders of magnitude more powerful than the competition.
FPU ≈ 1,000 × Conventional AI Accelerator
"Placeve's photonic FPU is a critical technology for the future of efficient AI."
Trillion-Dollar Opportunities
The AI revolution demands a new computing substrate.
AI Generation
AI video and personalized ad generation in real-time.
Physical AI
1,000x more efficient computer vision for robotics and autonomy.
Science Discovery
Solving partial differential equations for rocket fuel, drugs, and materials.
