Ayar Labs

Ayar Labs is a silicon-photonics company that develops co-packaged optics (CPO) and optical I/O technology to replace copper interconnects with light. Its products, including the TeraPHY optical engine and SuperNova external light source, connect thousands of GPUs across racks to deliver the bandwidth density and energy efficiency required by hyperscale AI infrastructure. Ayar Labs is backed by Insight Partners and Playground Global. It ships hardware and optical-interconnect technology rather than a public developer API; this API Evangelist profile tracks the company's public web properties and domain security posture.

Ayar Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Silicon Photonics, Co-Packaged Optics, Optical I/O, and Semiconductors.

Ayar Labs’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 5 more developer resources.
