About Xsight Labs
Xsight Labs is building the open, programmable silicon that powers cloud and AI infrastructure. Our X-Series Ethernet switches deliver 12.8 Tbps at sub-700ns latency on an open ISA. Our E1 DPU runs 800 Gbps with 64 Arm cores in the data path. Both are in production today, with deployments at operators building modern infrastructure. We're a fabless team in Kiryat Gat, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, and the Bay Area.
Our teams are located and operate globally in Israel, the US, Europe, and Asia.
