NPUs yes, TPUs no (or not yet). Rumour has it that Hailo is meant to be releasing a plug in NPU "soon" that accelerates LLM.

I'm still sanguine that 1.58 BITNET models take off. Those could plausibly run at good clip on existing CPUs, no GPU needed.

Super basic medium article for those not in know

~~Necessity~~ spite is usually a good driver...though given BITNET is Microsoft IP....ehh...I won't hold my breath for too long. Still waiting for their 70B model to drop... maybe this year....

 

Watching a recent Bringus video on finished but unreleased games for older consoles made me wonder - what games could/should have existed on older machines, but just never made it / weren't ported.

Gauntlet (DS) and Diablo 1 (GBA) come to mind, though the former was leaked.

Doom was famously thought impossible by ID Software to port to the Amiga (but iirc, someone managed to do it just last year).

Any from back in the day you wish could have made it?

I maintain the Wii could have handled some version of GTA, and there's a rumour that it (and FO3!) were in the early stages of development before getting nuked.
