Yes, I’m focused on the topic at hand that the person I replied to was also talking about.

The person I replied to was acting as if Taalas was ancient history. I was pointing out it has only been a few months.

I'd say the original remark was more general («this approach (baking LLMs/weights into silicon directly) [... as if] worked on in secret») - which is salient, because when I investigated weeks ago, I found a large number of attempts to CIM and to general branching from Von Neumann architecture for the purpose of optimizing NNs implementations in HW.

Universities are studying, startups are proposing - the «approach» is under the big headlines level but quite lively. Not just Taalas, not just their way - which remains remarkable in the scene as the HW is achieved, working, online, available... and amazing.
