I seriously doubt that. The cores on that chip are extremely memory-limited: 72 bytes per core, that's about 10 kiB per Chip! And if you want to access SDRAM, you need an external SDRAM controller and bit-bang it. Gee, I wonder what that does to throughput and latency...
This chip's competition isn't GPUs and AI engines, but very low-cost, low-performance FPGAs, and it would probably lose. Given the extremely constrained environment of the individual cores (no cache, extremely little memory, a stack-based architecture), FPGAs are probably even easier to program.
There are no commercial applications, it's a toy.
