Analyst Commentary Highlights Growth Potential

A research report from Shenwan Hongyuan highlighted that in distributed computing scenarios for large model training and inference, high-speed optical interconnection has become a critical requirement for inter-card coordination. Training clusters comprising tens of thousands of cards demand extreme communication bandwidth and low latency, while GPU-to-GPU communication also presents a latency bottleneck in inference. The report noted that XIZHI TECH-P is the sole independent supplier in China to have achieved large-scale commercialization of Scale-up optical interconnection solutions, granting it a clear first-mover advantage and strong customer loyalty. The company is in a phase of rapid growth and possesses a unique technological platform.
