The AI buildout to date has been priced around processors, but models do not run on compute alone. Every training run and every inference request depends on data being stored, retrieved, and moved at extraordinary speed. That work falls to two adjacent layers of the stack: memory, the semiconductors and storage hardware that hold data and feed it to accelerators, and photonics, the optical technologies that move data between chips, servers, and data centers using light.
