Wiwynn runs live AI rack at OCP Summit, signaling packaged optics system-level proof.
Context
What happened: At the OCP Global Summit in San Jose, Wiwynn, Ayar Labs, and Global Unichip Corp. ran a live co-packaged optics rack system with a GUC ASIC, Ayar Labs TeraPHY optical engines, and SuperNova external laser sources in an Open Rack V3 enclosure.
Key numbers: Summit ran October 12 to 15.
Why it matters: The companies described the demo as CPO's move from architectural validation to system-level functional proof, the gate hyperscalers wait for before committing qualification resources. OCP Summit 2026 gave CPO a dedicated track among 22 total tracks.
