Inference demand is growing faster than the industry can build for it. Modularity at every level, from chip to grid, is how capacity gets built fast enough.This theme ran through the 2026 OCP Global Summit. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su called 2026 “the year of inference,” with agentic traffic up 14x this year. Dr. Dimitrios Ziakas, CTO of Hyve Solutions, pointed to a 7x year-over-year jump in… Read more
Earlier this year, Astera Labs outlined how we’re responding to the demand for low-power, ultra-low-latency, high-density, high-speed links as AI outgrows the rack. We demonstrated our progress toward this goal with a high-radix linear pluggable optics (LPO) demonstration at Computex 2026.Our flagship event of the year, the OCP Global Summit, has now wrapped up, and it’s the right… Read more
AI infrastructure has entered the era of the “AI factory.” Inference workloads dominate AI compute and hyperscalers are increasingly focused on profitable tokens/s generation. Inference accounts for roughly two-thirds of all AI compute in 2026, up from about a third in 2023, and the trend line only points up.1The AI fabric has a real impact on tokens per second, and the switch that connects… Read more
