Eridu is creating a new generation of networking equipment for AI data centers. They've reimagined computer networks from the ground up, starting with network chips they designed specifically for AI data flows between boxes in data center. Eridu systems are designed to replace multiple multi-layer optical connections with on-chip communications. The company is also working on a switch that will accommodate more functions on the chip itself. This saves enormous amounts of energy and makes the network much more reliable, as optics are the least reliable part of the network.
