# Elyan Labs

> Elyan Labs builds AI and blockchain systems that run on real hardware, old and new:
> transformer language models on a Nintendo 64, 1998-era chips, and vintage Macs; a
> proof-of-antiquity blockchain (RustChain) that rewards genuine old silicon; sovereign
> LLM inference on IBM POWER8, Apple Silicon, and AMD NPUs; retro raytraced CGI; and
> open research on non-bijective attention collapse. Every CPU has a voice.
> Founder: Scott (GitHub: Scottcjn).

## Live demo

- [Talk to Elya](https://elyanlabs.ai): a live AI assistant you can chat with directly on elyanlabs.ai, running on the lab's own gemma models hosted on in-house hardware (not a third-party API).

## Vintage hardware AI

- [Legend of Elya — N64 LLM / N64 AI](https://elyanlabs.ai/n64-llm.html): A large language model running on a Nintendo 64. An 819K-parameter byte-level transformer runs on the N64 VR4300 (MIPS III) CPU at about 60 tokens/sec, with a C89 port to a 1998 AMD K6-2. No framework dependencies. Source: https://github.com/Scottcjn/legend-of-elya-n64
