That slot is called USB-C. I can fully imagine inference ASICs coming in powerbank form factor that you'd just plug and play.
This would be a hell of a hot power bank. It uses about as much power as my oven. So probably more like inside a huge cooling device outside the house. Or integrated into the heating system of the house.
(Still compelling!)

With these speeds you can run it over USB2, though maybe power is limiting.
Pretty sure it'd just be a thumbdrive. Are the Taalas chips particularly large in surface area?
