🇺🇸Optical-interconnect developer CScale announced $145 million in Series C funding, bringing total funding to $188 million.

CScale emerged from stealth on September 30 and announced a $145 million Series C, bringing its stated cumulative funding to $188 million. The announcement identifies development and commercialization of optical interconnects for AI scale-up as the purpose of the financing.

The company’s focus is the connection between accelerators, rather than the accelerators themselves or data-center power generation. The announcement describes scale-up interconnects as high-bandwidth, ultra-low-latency connections that allow accelerators to work together like a single larger computer.

The supplied excerpt reports a financing announcement but does not provide investors, valuation, ownership dilution, financing conditions, or a separate closing date. Its reference to “gigawatt-scale AI” describes the intended infrastructure market; it does not establish that CScale owns, operates, or has contracted gigawatts of data-center capacity.
