🙏 Many thanks to the European Commission for supporting this research through the projects GATEPOST, ALLEGRO, HAETAE, SYMPHONY, AMBROSIA, and OCTAPUS.

Skai TV presented our Photonic Artificial Intelligence Processor with the World’s Highest Computational Power, created by the scientific team of WinPhoS.

The world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence tensor core operates with light and carries a Greek signature. The School of Informatics of Aristotle University, following the development of the fastest Artificial Intelligence tensor core that was announced about two years ago, has recently deployed a photonic Artificial Intelligence tensor core that offers the highest computational power that has been reported so far worldwide among all state-of-the-art fully programmable AI tensor cores!
