NEW YORK, NY, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fabric.AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:FABC) (the "Company" or "Fabri.AI"), an AI infrastructure company developing a suite of fabless semiconductor technologies for next-generation AI factories, today announced that it expects to demonstrate its flagship Neural I/o™ MicroLED-based optical interconnect platform by the end of 2026.

Neural I/o is being developed in partnership with Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN) and is designed to address one of the largest emerging bottlenecks in artificial intelligence infrastructure: the movement of data between GPUs, accelerators, memory systems, and servers inside AI data centers.

The Company also announced that it has entered into two non-disclosure agreements with leading chipmakers to discuss potential applications and integration opportunities for Neural I/o within next-generation AI systems.

Fabric.AI believes MicroLED-based interconnect architectures may offer substantial advantages over traditional copper and laser-based solutions, including lower power consumption, lower latency, improved thermal efficiency, greater density, and superior scalability for hyperscale AI environments.

As AI models continue scaling exponentially, industry leaders have increasingly emphasized that networking and interconnect performance are becoming critical constraints on AI system growth. NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang has repeatedly described networking as essential infrastructure for AI factories, stating that "the datacenter is the new unit of computing" and emphasizing that throughput and interconnect efficiency directly impact AI productivity and economics.

Fabric.AI also reported that it currently has approximately $30 million in cash and cash equivalents, which the Company believes is sufficient to fund operations through the planned Neural I/o™ demonstration milestone.

"AI is creating one of the largest infrastructure buildouts in modern history, and interconnect technology sits directly at the center of that expansion," said Josh Silverman, Fabric.AI Chief Executive Officer. "The industry increasingly understands that AI performance is no longer determined solely by compute. It is determined by how efficiently data can move throughout the system. The industry has recognized that MicroLED-based interconnects can outperform both copper and laser-based architectures across power efficiency, thermals, density, latency, and scalability.

"We believe the market opportunity for next-generation AI interconnects could ultimately exceed $100 billion annually. In markets of this size, the leading technology platform often captures extraordinary value. Our goal with Neural I/o is to build a foundational technology layer for the AI factory era," concluded Silverman.

The Company's Neural I/o platform represents the first product initiative in Fabric.AI's broader strategy to build enabling semiconductor technologies for AI factories—smart data centers optimized for producing intelligence at scale.
