Lambda started out in 2012 as a face rec company. It’s the year when AlexNet came out. I cloned the cuda-convnet repository and It sent me down a rabbit hole of training CNNs, autoencoders, RNNs, and more. I built my first GPU workstation and fell in love with the technology.

I had no idea it would lead to what we’ve built today, but somehow, it feels like Lambda is just getting started. If you know us, spin up an instance on the dashboard. If you don’t, check out Lambda Chat, our hosted DeepSeek R1: Happy hacking!

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker. We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition. Icon ( is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes. How it works: 1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads. 2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences. 3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete. 4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy. 3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300. We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points: 1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more. 2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics. 3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for: 🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning 📈 Creative analytics 📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC 👥 Audience research 📁 Video storage & tagging Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉). If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

bullish.
