We go over how convolution layers, weighted sums, and activation functions are implemented directly on a photonic chip \u2014 without memory, clock cycles, or digital logic.<\/p>\n<p>\u269b\ufe0f\u269b\ufe0f\u269b\ufe0f<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2025\/12\/this-photonic-ai-chip-is-the-future-of-computer-vision\">Continue reading \u201cThis Photonic AI Chip is the FUTURE of Computer Vision\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This AI chip doesn\u2019t use electricity to compute \u2014 it uses light.
