What's Next After GPUs?
27 May 2026

What will power the next era of AI?
Jeff Shainline, co-founder and CEO of Great Sky, breaks down a radically different future for AI infrastructure.
Great Sky is building Superconducting Optoelectronic Networks (SOENs), a new kind of computing architecture that combines superconductors, photons, and brain-inspired circuits to push beyond the limits of today’s GPUs.
Key takeaways:
👀 Why GPUs and transformers may not be AI’s final form
⚡ How superconductors and light could reshape computing
🧠 Why SOENs are “brain-like” without copying the brain
😳 What 60 million video frames per second actually unlocks
💡 Why fusion, particle colliders, and cloud AI may be early use cases
