Cornelis Networks makes high-speed networking equipment designed specifically for connecting thousands of AI processors together in a computing cluster. Their technology is optimized for the unique communication patterns of AI training, where processors constantly need to share data with each other at extremely low latency.

Cornelis' networking fabric is purpose-built for the collective communication patterns of AI training workloads, where thousands of GPUs must synchronize gradients and share data in patterns very different from traditional data center traffic. Their architecture delivers lower latency and higher message rate than general-purpose Ethernet for AI-specific communication. The company formed as a spinout of Intel's OmniPath networking product.
