There is a huge advantage to 'embedded computing' (using the physics of your system itself to do the compute): energy efficiency.

Possibly, but I didn't see anything in the paper about energy efficiency vs a similar software implementation of their neural net and I don't think the wider Deep Learning community really has spent much time thinking about energy efficiency of their models.

There is a substantial subfield doing embedded deep learning - they absolutely care about energy efficiency.

"Substantial", maybe. I don't recall any major papers this year about efficiency in NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.

Nevertheless I think my point on "the wider Deep Learning community" not focusing on efficiency is correct.
