  Neurophos is an Austin, Texas semiconductor company, spun out of Duke University in
  2020, building photonic AI inference silicon. Its Optical Processing Unit (OPU)
  integrates over a million micron-scale dynamic optical metasurface modulators —
  technology descended from metamaterials research — onto a single chip, performing the
  matrix multiplications behind AI inference in light rather than electrons. The company
  markets the T100 OPU as a drop-in data-center alternative to GPUs, publishing chip and
  server configurations rated at 235 TOPS/W with HBM-backed memory, and lists Triton and
  JAX as supported software frameworks. Neurophos raised a $110M Series A in January 2026
  led by Gates Frontier with M12, Carbon Direct, Aramco Ventures and Bosch Ventures. It
  sells hardware, not software services: there is no developer program, no public API and
  no SDK. The only machine-readable surfaces at its domain are an llms.txt and the
  Wix-platform site MCP endpoint that llms.txt advertises.

  description: >-
    A live, unauthenticated Model Context Protocol endpoint served from the neurophos.com
    host and advertised in the company's own llms.txt. It is provided by the Wix site
    platform rather than authored by Neurophos, and exposes nine tools over the public
    marketing site — business details, site search, site API-doc search, anonymous
    visitor-token minting, and generic Wix REST call/execute tools. No tool exposes the
    T100 OPU, its runtime, or any Neurophos compute service; this is a site-content agent
    surface, not a product API.

  detail: >-
    Neurophos is a photonic-silicon company with no developer program — no OpenAPI,
    no SDK, no docs/api/developer subdomain resolves. What it does serve from its own
    host, and what was captured verbatim here, is an llms.txt and the live
    unauthenticated Wix site MCP endpoint (9 tools) that llms.txt advertises.
