Corning and Nvidia strike a deal to expand fiber optic production in the U.S. for the AI boom

Corning and Nvidia just announced a multiyear deal to expand U.S. manufacturing of the optical connectivity solutions essential to powering Nvidia's next-generation AI infrastructure. Corning is building three new factories entirely devoted to products for Nvidia in North Carolina and Texas. And while the companies didn’t share many specifics, it could eventually mean Nvidia replaces the 5,000 copper cables inside its rack-scale systems like Vera Rubin with tiny glass fibers made by Corning.
