Optical Consortium Establishes Open AI Interconnect Standard
The Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) MSA announced formation today, led by AMD, Broadcom, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and OpenAI, to create an open specification for optical scale-up AI interconnects. The OCI specification defines GEN1 and GEN2 interfaces (200–400Gbps per direction, up to 800Gbps per fiber) and a roadmap toward 3.2Tbps, aiming to enable multi-vendor, hyperscaler-ready optical deployments.
Scoring Rationale
Official industry consortium with broad hyperscaler and vendor backing drives high impact; deployments depend on vendor implementation timelines.
