AI photonic processor designer Arago raises $26m
By Nick Flaherty, eeNews Europe | July 8, 2025
Arago in Paris, France, has raised $26m in a seed round to commercialise its photonic processor for AI applications.
The company, which is also based in San Jose, California, has developed a chip, codenamed JEF, that uses laser instead of transistors to provide higher energy efficiency.
Early results demonstrate that “JEF” can run AI models from industry-standard software frameworks while staying fully compatible with the existing AI ecosystem, compute infrastructure, and manufacturing processes.
