SUSTAINABLE AI & CRYPTO MINING HARDWARE
DESIGNED IN JAPAN
Lenzo builds ultra-efficient hardware designed for modern parallel workloads — from blockchain to AI inference. Our proprietary CGLA architecture delivers breakthrough performance per watt in a compact, cost-effective form.
INTRODUCING LENZO CORE, BUILT FOR REAL WORKLOADS
Execution, memory, and data flow are coordinated directly in hardware.
This is visible, predictable performance.
This visualization reveals the internal state of LENZO Core, LENZO’s CGLA (Coarse-Grained Linear Array) compute architecture. Each ring represents a scalable CGLA fabric where parallel processing units operate across cascades and memory lanes. Real-time, color-coded states expose execution flow, cache activity, DMA transfers, and external memory interaction. Hardware-level multi-threading and buffering eliminate pipeline stalls, enabling predictable high throughput. LENZO Core delivers scalable performance, energy efficiency, and simplified programming for real-world workloads. Full length demo video available here.

LENZO on TV: Featured in an In-Depth TV Tokyo BIZ Segment (Updated)
A feature on LENZO was broadcast on January 3 as part of TV Tokyo BIZ’s New Year special, “TV Tokyo’s ‘Knowledge Relay’ — Bold Predictions for Politics, Economy, and Business in 2026” (original Japanese title: 「テレ東は“知の駅伝”～2026年政治・経済・ビジネスをビックリ予想～」).
The program introduces LENZO’s work in AI semiconductor development and provides background on the company’s technical approach and research activities. The coverage reflects the broader public discussion around the domestic development of advanced computing technologies - including AI hardware - and the role LENZO can play in this field.
The full 35-minute feature is available on TV Tokyo BIZ (link) via web and app. The complete 100-minute program via Online Broadcast TV (link), and a 17-minute edited version is available on YouTube (Embedded below).
Inside LENZO’s Advanced Computing Lab at Nara Institute of Science and Technology
Behind the scenes of LENZO’s development is a hands-on, iteration-driven engineering environment.
At NAIST’s Computing Architecture Group in Nara, our team is building, testing, and scaling LENZO Core — step by step, board by board.
LENZO Core is developed here through continuous iteration, moving from early board-level prototypes to increasingly complex, multi-board systems operating under real compute load.
As the architecture evolves, each new configuration introduces higher core density, greater system complexity, and sustained utilization. All testing is done on live hardware, allowing performance, power behavior, and stability to be evaluated directly rather than through simulation alone.
One key milestone shown during this phase is a live demonstration of ChatGPT running on LENZO Core. This end-to-end workload highlights the flexibility of the architecture and its ability to support modern AI applications even at an early development stage.
Every setup shown here represents a step forward — grounding LENZO Core’s design in real-world constraints and building toward a scalable, general-purpose compute platform.
EXPLAINER VIDEO: Architecture Leads System Design
NAIST Computing Architecture Lab's Youtube channel published a new video featuring a lecture by LENZO's Co-Founder & Chief Architect , Prof. Yasuhiko Nakashima.
In this talk, Prof. Nakashima shares perspectives on training environments for semiconductor engineers and broader directions for future accelerator technologies, including AI and cryptography.
A central theme of the lecture is the idea that “Architecture Leads System Design,” highlighting how architectural choices shape system-level performance, efficiency, and long-term adaptability. The video is published as a knowledge-sharing resource and is available to watch in full below.
