What the current evidence supports

Track; not yet
- Why
- This is a distinct, well-funded ($870M total, $3.75B valuation, NVIDIA+AMD strategic backing) point in the silicon-photonics stack — the chip-to-chip/UCIe-standard layer, not the switch-to-network CPO layer already tracked (Broadcom Bailly) — but the vendor's own 'production-ready' claim is ahead of independent evidence: no named hyperscale customer deployment is public, and independent 2026 analysis still lists CPO yield, thermal, and serviceability as open barriers industry-wide.
- Next
- Re-check at the next /pv-tech-refresh pass for a named hyperscaler production deployment (not just reference design) or a second-source optical-chiplet vendor hitting volume, whichever lands first, and re-score claimedReadiness against that evidence.
