Do failed wafers have to go in the trash, or can you recycle them?

You can grind some of the raw silicon out of a finished wafer but I don't think it'd be suitable to use in another batch of product. So instead of having the weights on the wafer like OOP was suggesting, hardware inference has been trending toward having a wafer of lots and lots of smaller cores with fast SRAM.
