Company Description

Piris Labs offers a full-stack inference service that eliminates the AI data movement bottleneck. By pairing proprietary photonic hardware with a vertically optimized software stack, we minimize the "memory wall" associated with expensive GPUs. This allows us to deliver the same performance as traditional clusters at a fraction of the cost. Our technology improves effective FLOP utilization and reduces latency, finally making the unit economics of trillion-parameter models sustainable. Founded by a team of MIT physicists and Meta AI experts.
