DafinchiCluster sizes greater than 130,000 GPUs will require a third optical layer, and 3 layers divided by 2 layers yields 50% more content per GPU.

CEO, Corning Inc
Context
Weeks detailed one enterprise network technical driver that increases Corning content per GPU. Weeks discussed how Corning can potentially grow faster than GPU growth through network changes. For cluster size growth, he explained a threshold above 130,000 GPUs that drives the need for an additional optical layer. He quantified the resulting content-per-GPU uplift as a 50% increase (3 layers vs 2 layers), positioning it as supportive of demand for very large AI clusters.
