- GlobalFoundries: Accelerating introduction of co-packaged optics for modern AI data centers with SCALE optical module solution
GlobalFoundries announced the launch of its SCALE optical module solution for co-packaged optics (CPO). GF’s SCALE solution, short for Silicon Photonics Co-Packaged Advanced Light Engine, is the industry’s first platform compatible with the Optical Compute Interconnect Multi-Source Agreement (OCI MSA), and exceeds the requirements of the OCI MSA optical interconnect specification for modern scalable AI architectures. Based on GF’s advanced silicon photonics technology, the SCALE-CPO solution leverages both coarse and dense wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM, DWDM) for bidirectional data transmission over any fiber, achieving significant improvements in bandwidth density and system scalability over traditional copper links. GF has already demonstrated 8λ- and 16λ-bidirectional DWDM natively on its platform – a fundamental technology milestone that puts GF in a unique position to support the industry shift to CPO and accelerate the adoption of optical scale-up interconnects.

AI backlash is mounting. Executives are getting booed. Workers are threatening strikes, and protests are frustrating data center development — but that doesn't seem to worry investors who are raining money on companies in the business. Why it matters: AI hate could slow adoption of the technology, posing an underappreciated risk for investors buying into the current frenzy. The latest: Even SpaceX's prospectus — which is threaded with AI hype — warns that the backlash is a real threat: "If AI technologies are perceived to be significantly disruptive to society, it could lead to governmental or regulatory restrictions or prohibitions on their use, societal concerns or unrest, or, both, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to develop, deploy or commercialize AI technologies and execute our business strategy."
