Piris Labs
ActiveHiringInference at Light Speed
About
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.

Keyvan Moghadam· Founder & PresidentI am an AI technologist with a decade of experience scaling AI/ML products. At Meta and X, I specialized in leading tiger teams to launch high-stakes 0-to-1 initiatives. Now, I am the Co-Founder of Piris Labs. We are building high-speed photonic interconnects to solve the energy and latency constraints for AI data inference. My current focus is to iterate on our inference service and onboard customers into our platform.
