EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 10, 2025-- nEye Systems, an optical switch startup founded by UC Berkeley technologists, has announced the completion of a $58 million Series B round of financing led by Alphabet’s independent growth fund, CapitalG, with participation from M12, Microsoft’s venture fund; Micron Ventures; NVIDIA; and Socratic Partners.

EMERYVILLE，加利福尼亚州，2025年4月10日——由加州大学伯克利分校技术专家创立的光学交换初创公司nEye Systems宣布已完成一轮5800万美元的B轮融资，本轮融资由Alphabet旗下的独立增长基金CapitalG领投，参与者包括微软的风险基金M12、美光创投、英伟达和Socratic Partners。

This financing brings the company’s total funding to $72.5 million; nEye previously secured an unannounced Series A led by TEDA Holdings with support from Innolight Technology USA and additional Seed funds..

这笔融资使公司的总融资额达到7250万美元；nEye此前曾获得由泰达控股领投、美国英诺光技术公司和额外种子基金支持的未公开A轮融资。

nEye’s innovative optical switch technology is poised to transform the AI fabric by addressing critical communication bottlenecks in data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems. Current infrastructures, which rely primarily on electrical switches, face significant challenges in power consumption as well as bandwidth limitations.

nEye的创新光学交换技术有望通过解决数据中心、高性能计算（HPC）以及人工智能（AI）和机器学习（ML）系统中的关键通信瓶颈，彻底改变AI架构。当前基础设施主要依赖于电子交换机，在功耗和带宽限制方面面临重大挑战。

This hinders utilization and increases data center costs and power consumption. nEye's wafer-scale optical circuit switch (OCS) provides a more efficient and cost-effective solution by utilizing direct optical connections, which offer virtually unlimited bandwidth..

这阻碍了资源利用，并增加了数据中心的成本和功耗。nEye的晶圆级光电路交换机（OCS）通过利用直接光连接提供了一种更高效且经济实惠的解决方案，这种连接可提供几乎无限的带宽。

“nEye’s groundbreaking technology has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and scalability of AI infrastructure,” said James Luo, General Partner at CapitalG and nEye board member. “Their innovative optical circuit switch addresses critical bottlenecks facing data centers and high-performance computing.

“nEye 的突破性技术有潜力大幅提高人工智能基础设施的效率和可扩展性，”CapitalG 普通合伙人兼 nEye 董事会成员 James Luo 表示。“他们创新的光路开关解决了数据中心和高性能计算面临的关键瓶颈。”

We are thrilled to partner with Professor Ming Wu and the entire nEye team on their audacious journey to redefine the landscape of AI computing.”.

我们非常高兴能与吴明教授以及整个nEye团队合作，踏上他们重新定义人工智能计算领域的大胆旅程。"

nEye has pioneered an industry-leading high radix silicon photonic switch with ultra-low power consumption. Leveraging over 10 years of research from Professor Ming Wu’s lab at UC Berkeley, nEye’s optical switch solution offers high performance, low cost, and a compact form factor. Compared to existing optical switch solutions, nEye’s technology is 100x smaller, 1,000x lower power consumption, 10,000x faster, and 10x lower cost..

nEye开创了业界领先的高基数硅光子开关，具有超低功耗。基于加州大学伯克利分校吴明教授实验室超过10年的研究成果，nEye的光开关解决方案提供高性能、低成本和紧凑的外形尺寸。与现有的光开关解决方案相比，nEye的技术体积小100倍，功耗低1000倍，速度快10000倍，成本低10倍。

“We are thrilled to have the support of CapitalG and our other esteemed investors as we scale our optical switch technology,” said Professor Ming Wu, co-founder of nEye Systems. “Our wafer-scale approach, backed by years of research at UC Berkeley, positions us to transform the AI fabric and enable the next generation of high-performance computing.”.

“在我们扩展光开关技术的过程中，能够得到CapitalG和其他备受尊敬的投资者的支持，我们感到非常激动，”nEye Systems的联合创始人吴明教授表示。“我们在加州大学伯克利分校多年研究的基础上采用的晶圆级方法，使我们有能力变革AI架构，并助力下一代高性能计算的发展。”

Optical switches are gaining broad adoption, with Google already announcing optically reconfigurable AI supercomputers. nEye’s technology can be deployed in various applications, including network flattening, network resilience, and inside the rack to extend GPU cluster sizes and increase GPU utilization efficiency..
