Go to POET’s Needham presentation slide 5 where NVIDIA and HPE are listed as potential customers for Optical Computing and Edge Applications. So not really a surprise if NIVIDIA is working with POET and of course it is pretty much a given that Inorganic Intelligence is the US based start-up development partner identified on the same slide for optical compute and Edge.
Nice sleuthing guys.
