What It IS
Technical VisionThe architectural essence — what makes this technology work
A neural processing chip where vast dark regions of zero-weight connections have silenced their own clock signals. Only the non-zero pathways glow with activity. The chip uses its own sparsity as an energy switch — the zeros save power by existing. Intelligent silence.
Abstract
Runtime mechanisms for dynamically selecting between ternary and full-precision computation based on layer inputs and accuracy requirements.
