🇺🇸AI-inference semiconductor developer Volantis raised $88 million in Series A funding, co-led by Lachy Groom and Abstract Ventures, advancing photonic memory architecture.

Volantis announced an $88 million Series A to advance its photonic memory architecture. The round was co-led by Lachy Groom, the individual investor named in the announcement, and investment firm Abstract Ventures.

The company describes its business as building a new category of AI-inference system. The supplied announcement places photonic memory architecture at the center of that development, rather than describing a GPU-cloud financing or data-center construction project.

The announcement claims the architecture will support models exceeding 20 trillion parameters at up to 10,000 tokens per second per user. Those are forward-looking company performance claims, not demonstrated benchmarks in the supplied excerpt, which provides no valuation, ownership terms, deployment schedule, or test methodology.
