Lamb Labs (YC S26) — Lightning fast chips with hardcoded AI models
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.

Read from the page's own HTML and response headers on 10 September 2026, at https://lamb-labs.com/. Each badge matched a string the site serves about itself — hover one to see which. Nothing here is a traffic, ranking or revenue figure: those cannot be read off a page and are not claimed.
Checked away from the directory entry. What is below does not come from the company's Y Combinator page.
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.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind Lamb Labs: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
