Q.ANT releases open-source software for photonic AI chips
Q.ANT has released the Q.ANT Native Computing Toolkit on GitHub, giving developers a simulator and software tools to write and test programs for its light-powered AI chips on standard computers. The kit supports Python and C, but real hardware access is still limited to select research sites, with cloud access expected in the coming months.
