Yes, we have architectures to address both needs. And yes, anything that can be converted into a computational graph can be intercepted and run.

In that case, couldn't your product address a much wider scope than just AI/deep-learning? I'd guess that computational graphs have a much wider applicability.

You're absolutely correct, and we've come up with early versions of a (much) better GPU and CPU. However, these are really hard markets to crack as a startup, since you need early volume. As a result, we are focusing on the deep learning processor for now.
