Expert Statements

“Micro-LED array can be built with surplus channels that are typically held in reserve until something fails”
James Altucher, FabricAI Strategic Advisor and co-author of the patent application
“We see an opportunity to use those spare emitters both to keep a link running through a failure and to carry the small, urgent signals that coordinate a training cluster, such as when each GPU reports that it has finished its step. Today, those signals can queue behind other traffic. Giving them their own optical path is one of the ways we believe Neural I/o(TM) can help data centers improve utilization and get more computing output from their existing GPUs.”
NEW YORK, NY, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fabric.AI (Nasdaq: FABC) ("Fabric.AI" or the "Company"), an AI infrastructure company developing a suite of fabless semiconductor technologies for next-generation AI factories, today announces that it has filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) titled, "LED Emitter Array Optical Interconnect with Surplus Physical Channels for Data Center Computing." The Company continues to pursue securing its intellectual property jointly owned with its partner Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq:KOPN). Through their partnership, Fabric.AI and Kopin are jointly developing MicroLED-based optical interconnect technology designed to address bandwidth and energy-efficiency constraints in next-generation AI data centers.
The design also spreads error-correction data across the whole array. Because the system knows exactly which channel has failed, it can rebuild the lost information without interrupting traffic. Fabric.AI believes that same margin could also support higher speeds per channel, and its internal modeling points to a path from 2 Gbps toward 2.5 to 3 Gbps. These are projections, not shipping specifications.
