I'll add to this: What if chips were designed for the model? What would happen if we moved from digital to analog (vectors are not represented as bits, but instead as voltages)? Could the compute heavy matrix multiplications be done via op-amps? And could this analog approach be way more efficient than the limitations of bit representation?

There is https://taalas.com/ . Their chips are all digital though. The weights are written to silicon.
