Since you're flexible on the silicon side, perhaps consider designing things so that the ternary weights are loaded from an external configuration rom into a shift register chain, instead of fixed. This would allow updating the weights without having to go through the whole production chain again.

We actually were thinking about this to flush the weights in at initialization

Cool.... if you want to make a general purpose compute engine out of it, you could go full BitGrid[1]. ;-)

This seems super cool. I'll have my cofounder look into it :)
