In six months, over $13 billion flowed into optical technologies — not as a bet on innovation, but as a response to a growing constraint. As AI systems scale beyond the limits of copper, the real bottleneck is no longer compute, but the ability to move data. The race is shifting from GPUs to the optical supply chain that connects them.
