AGI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a niche research field into the driving force behind today’s technological revolution. From large language models (LLMs) powering generative AI tools to recommendation engines, self-driving cars, and predictive analytics, AI workloads are everywhere. These workloads are hungry for compute power — requiring massive clusters of GPUs and TPUs to train and run models. But while GPUs tend to capture the headlines, networking is the invisible backbone of AI performance. Without the right interconnect fabric, even the most powerful GPUs sit idle, waiting for data to arrive or synchronizations to complete. ...

As we leap into a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI), and look toward the promise of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), networking—the vital force connecting devices, clouds, and people—is rapidly transforming to meet and shape these revolutions. From Cables to Cloud: Networking’s Expanding Journey Ethernet: The Wired Workhorse Milestones & Evolution: Created in the 1970s, Ethernet began with 10 Mbps LANs, blossomed to Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps, 1995), Gigabit (1 Gbps, 1998), and now supports jaw-dropping 400 Gbps—with 800 Gbps and 1.6 Tbps on the horizon. Advances bring not only speed but also smarter traffic management, redundancy, and microsecond-level latencies for real-time AI. ...
