    I really wish I had saved the reference of the guy from Altera explaining why FPGAs simply will not work for models. I don’t have a ton of interest in FPGAs in general… It may have been on Lex Friedman.

    The FPGA is ultimately anything, and they work for smaller stuff obviously, but there is some specific reason why they do not scale to work with current models. It might have been the way rotations are done in transformers or something like that. The person was on papers I have seen and skimmed on arxiv. Names and details outside of my curiosity do not stick in my abstractive functional thought and memory.
