Ushering in the Thermodynamic Future

by an AI model, I mean any AI model that is "mainstream"

  • Update 2026-03-15 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Power efficiency is not a factor — only faster or cheaper performance matters

    • "AI model" means any deep learning model with mass adoption (not limited to LLMs; includes models like CNNs)

Is power efficiency part of your consideration here? And by "AI" and "mainstream" model do you mean LLMs or any deep learning model (e.g. a CNN for MNIST)

@Tomoffer "cheaper" or "faster", so no.

Any deep learning model that has mass adoption
