Neurophos

aid: neurophos
name: Neurophos
description: 'Neurophos is an Austin, Texas semiconductor company, spun out of Duke University in 2020, building photonic
  AI inference silicon. Its Optical Processing Unit (OPU) integrates over a million micron-scale dynamic optical metasurface
  modulators — technology descended from metamaterials research — onto a single chip, performing the matrix multiplications
  behind AI inference in light rather than electrons. The company markets the T100 OPU as a drop-in data-center alternative
  to GPUs, publishing chip and server configurations rated at 235 TOPS/W with HBM-backed memory, and lists Triton and JAX
  as supported software frameworks. Neurophos raised a $110M Series A in January 2026 led by Gates Frontier with M12, Carbon
  Direct, Aramco Ventures and Bosch Ventures. It sells hardware, not software services: there is no developer program, no
  public API and no SDK. The only machine-readable surfaces at its domain are an llms.txt and the Wix-platform site MCP endpoint
  that llms.txt advertises.'

  description: A live, unauthenticated Model Context Protocol endpoint served from the neurophos.com host and advertised in
    the company's own llms.txt. It is provided by the Wix site platform rather than authored by Neurophos, and exposes nine
    tools over the public marketing site — business details, site search, site API-doc search, anonymous visitor-token minting,
    and generic Wix REST call/execute tools. No tool exposes the T100 OPU, its runtime, or any Neurophos compute service;
    this is a site-content agent surface, not a product API.

x-coverage:
  state: covered
  detail: Neurophos is a photonic-silicon company with no developer program — no OpenAPI, no SDK, no docs/api/developer subdomain
    resolves. What it does serve from its own host, and what was captured verbatim here, is an llms.txt and the live unauthenticated
    Wix site MCP endpoint (9 tools) that llms.txt advertises.
