Q.ANT gives away the software for its light-powered AI chips in a CUDA-style bet on developers
The New Stack 3 weeks ago 36
Q.ANT released the Q.ANT Native Computing Toolkit so developers can write and test software for its light-powered AI chips via a simulator on regular computers. The kit is free on GitHub under a license that allows commercial use. Access to the real photonic chips is still limited to a few research centers, so developers can start building now but can only validate energy and performance claims once cloud or on-site hardware access arrives in the coming months.
