This opens the door to very exciting hardware shifts, like to optical computing, where there's already been over a decade of research on ternary optical computing and other parallel research at using optical computing for more efficient neural networks. If this really holds up, it likely means we'll be moving to new dedicated hardware for AI compute much faster than when it was FP.
