Lamb Labs on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: 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. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Lamb Labs is building MPUs (Model Processing Units). We hardcode the entire model, including its weights, into silicon. The model is the chip. This solves the memory-bandwidth bottleneck GPUs face, targeting 20,000+ tokens per second and 63× higher intelligence per watt." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Niki Kotecha, Founder/CEO: Founder at Lamb Labs. AI PhD at Imperial College London + I-X Scholar. MEng/BA in Engineering from University of Cambridge. Alan Turing Institute Global Fellowship and 160+ citations (source)
  • Thomas Lanning, Founder/CTO: Founder at Lamb Labs. Masters in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics from Oxford. Top of his class in undergraduate at Edinburgh University. (Re)discovered the Higgs-boson using ML and CERN data. (source)
