Chinese team builds optical chip AI that is 100 times faster than Nvidia’s market leader
Published: 8:19am, 19 Dec 2025



Chinese scientists have unveiled an optical computing chip that outperformed Nvidia’s leading AI hardware by over a hundredfold in speed and energy efficiency – particularly for generative tasks such as video production and image synthesis.

The LightGen chip was developed by a team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Tsinghua University, harnessing the speed of light to execute complex artificial intelligence workloads.
With more than 2 million photonic neurons integrated into a compact chip, LightGen can generate high-resolution images, including 3D scenes, and create videos.
