Even with “silicon” doesn’t really make sense. The models already live on silicon, they’re stored in the datacenters needed to run them. It’s not like you can make them into some chip and magically not have to use the datacenter.

Gonna take GPS example to explain general processors vs specific ones. GPS works by doing some simple math around triangulation from satalites. When they first came out there were no GPS chips. It was done by a general processors. Now they can do it, but because they can do Amy Hong they’re not as fast as newer GPS chips. How they work is the silicon can only handle the GPS calculations. But because of that, it can do it way faster. LLMs run on matrix math and probabilities. We can 100% come up with specialised silicon to handle this math. Intact, thats what a lot of AI specialised chips are.
