Co-founder and CEO of Lambda. The GPU cloud for AI.
Lambda is a cloud designed for the age of AI. Today, we announced a $480M Series D co-led by Andra Capital and SGW with participation from NVIDIA, Andrej Karpathy, In-Q-Tel, ARK Invest, and others.
We had fun creating NeuralOS. It’s a peek into the future of computing. It feels like a toy, but that’s the point. We made it multiplayer by default: prompt it to start a chat with a friend or send them some SVG artwork. Enjoy!
We're thrilled to introduce NeuralOS, Lambda’s first neural-native operating system: neuralos.lambda.ai The OS, the apps, the network, the logic... all dreamed in the mind of a model. This is where words become apps. And thoughts become systems. - Create your own space…
📚 The Computer and the Brain Prompted to read this by sections quoted in a talk @stephenbalaban did on neural software LLMs are crawling up the stack and it seems we're at the half way point. Maybe other architectures come along but right now the bulk of capital is in LLMs and…
Amazing how production quality CGI and video is now only $10/mo. AI is truly deflationary. Is this a 100,000x or 1,000,000x price performance improvement?
Introducing our V1 Video Model. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. Available at 10$/month, it's the first video model for *everyone* and it's available now.
Yes, we are actively investing. In fact, today we announced @bloombergbeta has a new fund to invest – our fifth. Startups keep evolving, faster than ever, and we know the best way we can support them is by staying steady, a constant on which they can depend. So our new fund is…

Lambda’s B200 pricing starts at $2.99/hr. H100 at $1.85/hr. Lambda Cloud is the Real Deal.
Thanks @johncoogan and @jordihays for having me on TBPN today. If you’re interested in learning more about the concept of neural software, check out this talk: x.com/stephenbalaban…
"In the future, you won't need any software at all. The neural network will completely replace it." - @stephenbalaban, co-founder of @LambdaAPI "Here's the idea: instead of generating a program, just go to ChatGPT and say, 'Hi, please behave like a calculator or a spreadsheet.'"…
VENOM MIKU Metal Gear Solid 5 Venom Snake x Hatsune Miku Animation This was an idea I've been cooking for a few months, I wanted to break through the 3D barriers with this and combine traditional 2D animation on top. Made in Blender and Clip Studio Paint!
We're really excited to be working with Aligned to build a massive AI data center right in the @cityofplanotx.
We’re teaming up with @LambdaAPI to power the next generation of AI infrastructure. Their @nvidia-accelerated GPU cloud will launch at DFW-04, our liquid-cooled, high-density facility now under construction in Plano, TX. Built to flex. Designed to scale. Ready for what’s next.
Synapses get a lot of focus, but many intelligent creatures get by just fine without them. Ciliates, our single cell ancestors, may be the best example, yet are difficult to connect to multicell systems Comb jellies (possibly the earliest animals) make this bridge by existing…
Microtubule based intelligence. interesting.

32 year old Yann Lecun shows off the world's first CNN in 1993 for text recognition.
The entire team of Exa dot ai is banned. All 3 founders @WilliamBryk @wangzjeff @TheIshanGoswami are gone and 𝕏 search was removed from Exa’s MCP server. TOS aside, but suspending individual team members?? @elonmusk, @x what is going on??? this must be a mistake..
