Overview

Lamb Labs is building Model Processing Units (MPUs), custom AI chips that hardcode LLM weights directly into silicon. Rather than adapting general-purpose processors to run AI models, we're rethinking how LLMs are implemented in hardware to make inference dramatically faster and more energy-efficient.
