Six industry leaders, one open specification: Defining the future of AI interconnects. Broadcom is proud to announce today the formation of the Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), alongside fellow founding members AMD, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and OpenAI. Together, we are establishing a new open specification to build a robust, multi-vendor ecosystem for the next generation of AI infrastructure. As AI models evolve toward super-intelligence, AI cluster networking requires a paradigm shift from electrical to optical-based scale-up architectures. By creating a "plug-and-play" spec, the OCI MSA allows the entire industry to mix and match the best AI chips with the best optical technology. This helps ensure faster, more powerful, and more energy-efficient systems that drive AI breakthroughs benefiting consumers and the public at large. 🌐 Learn more: https://oci-msa.org
