NVIDIA and Broadcom have begun small-scale shipments of their new CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) switches, marking a significant step towards mass production for this technology. However, the expansion of CPO switch production is expected to be constrained by the supply of critical components such as optical engines, silicon photonics chips, and advanced packaging capabilities. In separate news, Meituan has upgraded its AI-native assistant, "Xiao Tuan," to enhance its agent execution abilities, allowing it to perform local life service tasks like ordering and booking in real-time across over 2,800 cities.
