LABAccelerating AI Systems & Solutions
We build AI across the full stack — from accelerators and compilers up to algorithms and the applications that reach classrooms, power grids, and factory floors. Our aim is not only scaling intelligence, but scaling intelligence per joule.

One thrust in focus at a time — click to switchAI that supports learning, teaching, and special education.
We build AI for learners, educators, and the specialists who serve them, with a focus on children with speech and language needs. This work spans speech-language assessment and intervention tools, AI literacy and reading companions for young children, tools for parents and clinicians, and studies of how AI is used and perceived in classrooms and special education.
