Well I think it’s interesting to the extent that it optimizes the solution for a different piece of hardware, the TPU. Their results are also applicable to GPUs

Well I think it’s interesting to the extent that it optimizes the solution for a different piece of hardware, the TPU. Their results are also applicable to GPUs. Since the problem is highly parallelizable, we might expect a viable model to quickly approximate a more accurate evaluation, and perhaps even make up for it in volume.
