Credo joins a growing\nconsortium of companies collaborating through the Open CPX MSA to advance\ninteroperable near-package and co-packaged optical interconnect architectures\nfor future AI scale-out and scale-up networks.\n\nNews Highlights:\n\n\n * Credo joins the Open CPX MSA to help drive an ecosystem of interoperable\noptical solutions that deliver the bandwidth, density, and power efficiency\nrequired for next-generation AI infrastructure.\n\n * Established in March of 2026, the Open CPX MSA is developing open\nspecifications for optimized optical engines that enable high-speed,\nhigh-density connectivity between ASICs and near-package optics (NPO) and\nco-packaged optics (CPO) interconnects.\n\n * The Open CPX MSA specifications will standardize mechanical, thermal,\nelectrical, optical, and management interfaces, helping ensure\ninteroperability and accelerate the adoption of next-generation AI networking\narchitectures.\n\n * Credo will support silicon photonics-based photonic integrated circuits (SiPho\nPICs), optical DSPs, and other components for the Open CPX MSA standard.\n\n“The Open CPX MSA provides an important framework for advancing an open,\nmulti-vendor ecosystem as the industry explores new architectures to scale AI\nby bringing optical connectivity closer to the ASIC,” said Ronnen Lovinger,\nVice President of Silicon Photonics at Credo. “Joining the Open CPX MSA will\nenable Credo to support the ecosystem with a full suite of SiPho PICs, optical\nDSPs and other components to meet the growing needs of our customers.”\n\nAs AI infrastructure scales, moving data between ASICs and optical\ninterconnects becomes increasingly challenging due to the power, signal\nintegrity, and density limitations of high-speed electrical connections. By\nbringing optical connectivity closer to the ASIC, CPO and NPO architectures\ncan reduce the distance data must travel electrically before being converted\nto light.\n\nThe Open CPX MSA brings the industry together to advance next-generation\noptical solutions that improve AI network efficiency and scalability while\npreserving the flexibility and benefits of a multi-vendor ecosystem. The\ninitial target of the MSA is an optimized optical engine with a defined\npluggable socket and electrical connector system that supports both optical\nand copper connectivity.\n\nAbout the Open CPX MSA\n\nOpen CPX MSA is an international organization dedicated to easing the adoption\nof optical engines by providing commonized mechanical and performance\nparameters for ecosystem suppliers and end users. Its goal is to reduce power,\ncost, and latency, while improving bandwidth density, capacity, and the\nreliability of high-speed co-packaged and near-package interconnects for AI\ndata center applications.
