My focus lately is on the cost side of this. I believe strongly that it's possible to reduce the cost of compute for LLM type loads by 95% or more. Personally, it's been incredibly hard to get actual numbers for static and dynamic power in ASIC designs to be sure about this.

If I'm right (which I give a 50/50 odds to), and we can reduce the power of LLM computation by 95%, trillions can be saved in power bills, and we can break the need for Nvidia or other specialists, and get back to general purpose computation.
