In the field of photonics chip technology, China has reached another significant milestone. On May 12th, NanZhi Photonics officially released the country's first dedicated large model for photonics chips — OptoChat AI. This innovative achievement will significantly promote the research and development process of China's photonics chips, marking a major transformation in the R&D approach.
As a cutting-edge technology at the intersection of modern optoelectronics and microelectronics, photonics chips have long faced the challenge of low R&D efficiency. Pan Tao, vice president of NanZhi Photonics, pointed out that traditional R&D models often rely on engineers consulting a vast amount of literature or seeking expert advice, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The emergence of OptoChat AI is precisely to break this bottleneck. By transforming the "people finding knowledge" model into the "knowledge finding people" model, this large model will greatly enhance the R&D efficiency of photonics chips.

The OptoChat AI model was trained through deep learning of over 300,000 authoritative documents and process data, covering all aspects of photonics chip R&D, including material selection, structural design, and performance analysis. The construction of this professional knowledge system makes the model superior in both professionalism and reliability compared to general large models, effectively solving various practical problems in the R&D of photonics chips, such as low knowledge conversion efficiency and difficulty in parameter understanding.
This breakthrough by NanZhi Photonics is not just a technical advancement but also lays a solid foundation for the overall development of China's photonics chip industry. In the future, NanZhi Photonics plans to continuously iterate and upgrade through open interfaces to attract more institutions from industry, academia, and research to jointly build together, thereby further promoting the development of the photonics chip industry.
Industry experts analyze that the progress of photonics chip technology is crucial for the independent and controllable development of China's semiconductor industry. The application of OptoChat AI will greatly improve R&D efficiency, shorten the time for technological commercialization, and give China greater competitive advantages in the global semiconductor industry. This innovative achievement not only has great significance in the technical field but also helps to build a complete photonics chip industry ecosystem.
With the continuous maturity and application of photonics chip technology, more innovative products and solutions will emerge in the future, further driving technological progress.
