We’re getting three updated flip phones (Razr Ultra at $1,500, Razr+ at $1,100, and the base Razr at $800) plus Motorola’s brand-new book-style folding phone, the Razr Fold, coming in at $1,900.

Lumai’s Photonic Chip Harnesses Light for Big AI Compute Speedup Silicon photonics is emerging as a way move massive amounts of data among GPUs and CPUs in HPC systems, but what if you could compute purely with light and photonics? That’s the gist of the optical computing technology developed by Lumai, which today launched its first server, dubbed Iris. Lumai was spun out of Oxford University, which pioneered a novel approach to process data in light. The company’s three-dimensional optical technology utilizes a combination of lasers and membranes to encode data as light and then perform a…
