Or just develop the next wave of chips designed for specifically transformer-based architectures (and ternary computing), and bypass the needs for GPUs and CUDA altogether

That would be betting against other architectures like Mamba, which does not seem like an obviously good bet to make yet. Maybe it is though.

You're right, there are a number of avenues that are viable alternatives to the gpu monopoly.

I like the fact that these can be made with just mass-printed multiplication (and in ternary computing's case - addition) gates which require little more than 10 year old tech which is already widely distributed.
