Petabit-Class Single-Hop Switching Paper Targets Massive MoE Training: 16x4 OSFP, 512x200G Lanes

The tweet identifies the viral 1-petabit switch talk as the paper "Breaking Through the Network Wall: Petabit-Class Switching for Single-Hop MoE Training at Scale." The author adds hardware details: 16x4 OSFP cages and 512x200G lanes today; doubling lane rates would mean 5x OSFPs, 40 XPOs, 640 MMC connectors and 5120 active fibers with CPO—not crazy since Nvidia already does similar. The paper charts next-gen switching architectures to break the network wall for large-scale MoE training.
