Yeah, LightOn has been doing this for years already, it's kind of strange that there was no mention of them in the article. I know them because their offices are close to the research center where I work (in Paris, France). If I'm not wrong they were planning to offer their optical processor as a cloud service too.

- dcl 5y agoI remember that blog from when I was studying penalty/regularization methods over a decade ago. Was a great source of interesting papers and ideas.
