(x) Doubt.
Same here. I wait to see real life calculations done by such circuits. They won't be able to e.g. do a simple float addition without losing/mangling a bunch of digits.
But maybe the analog precision is sufficient for AI, which is an imprecise matter from the start.
@Treczoks @flemtone Thing is, the final LLM inference is usually done at reduced precision. 8-16 bits usually, but even 4bits or lower with different layers of varying precision.
