TL;DR: Lamb Labs is a Y Combinator Summer 2026 startup Lightning fast chips with hardcoded AI models, currently active with an early-stage team.
Lightning fast chips with hardcoded AI models
Last verified:
Lamb Labs is building MPUs (Model Processing Units), custom chips that hardcode LLM weights directly into the chip. Unlike GPUs, which move weights between memory and compute, MPUs keep the model on-chip, targeting up to 20,000+ tok/s and a 63× higher intelligence per watt.
Built by LemStudio
