TERTIARY
[Far future] A standardized foundry-and-marketplace for photonic compute tiles that lets cloud providers, model labs, and edge OEMs buy interchangeable optical accelerator blocks before a clear end-use category fully exists. Rather than solving a predefined bottleneck, it commercializes abundant semiconductor capital and packaging advances into a new capability—reconfigurable light-based compute modules—with value captured through IP licensing, wafer reservation markets, and transaction fees on certified tile interoperability.
