[(Guy Itzhaki*) @GuyItz]

This Thursday, I'll be hosting an in-depth AMA session with Michael Christoforou (VP Commercial
@Optalysys). We’ll discuss their groundbreaking work in developing hardware specifically to accelerate FHE.

We will cover the specific types of hardware required for FHE, including the distinctions between GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs, and why each matters, as well as future plans for FHE Hardware.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have your questions answered and gain an understanding of the future of secure data processing through FHE.

Date: May 1st, 9AM PST
