At OCP, Rajiv Pancholy, Director, Hyperscale Strategy & Products, Optical Systems Division at Broadcom, examines where co-packaged optics (CPO) stands today and where it is headed. He highlights a significant reliability milestone from Meta’s Tomahawk 5 deployment and points to partner showcases of the Tomahawk 6 Davidson CPO platform as the industry prepares for a broader CPO ramp.

Pancholy also makes the case for the OCI MSA, an open standard that brings optics into the AI scale-up domain. Its founding members are Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, AMD, NVIDIA, and Broadcom. He explains how the specification’s approach to scaling bandwidth per fiber lowers the barrier for vendors who want to begin designs now, and he previews what comes next for the MSA as it works to keep pace with industry demand.

• What Meta’s 225 million hours of Tomahawk 5 CPO operation signal about reliability
• Where the Tomahawk 6 Davidson platform fits in the expected CPO production timeline
• How the OCI MSA decouples electronics from optics in scale-up networks
• Why a DWDM approach built on a CWDM grid simplifies laser requirements
• How the spec balances a unified PMD framework with room for vendor innovation
• Where to access the full specification and what lies ahead for MSA membership
