So far we've been focused on edge devices like the Zynq, Artix and Zynq Ultrascale+ families. Tensil certainly works on larger devices but it's not as optimized there as we'd like …

Sorry if this was unclear - in a datacenter use case you are right, but for an edge deployment, you will usually need to quantize, prune or compress your ML model to get it working…

FINN is a very cool project, but usually requires big changes to your model in order to work, e.g. quantizing down to 1 or 2 bit weights. It also works best on large FPGAs which ar…

Cheers, and great question! FPGAs are pretty amazing devices, but one thing that's been holding them back is how difficult they have been to work with. Typically to actually make u…

I don't have hard numbers at hand, but I'd estimate something like an order of magnitude improvement for using DSP for multiplication vs not. If they're available on the fabric, yo…

Thanks for pointing this out! The UP5K does look promising.

Thanks! The general answer is that it depends on your model and on which FPGA platform we're talking about, but in a head-to-head benchmark test you'll find results in the ballpark…

Just saw your edit re: model compression. One thing that Tensil can do is help you avoid the need to quantize or compress your model entirely! For example, we've found that using a…

Thank you for the kind words! Just to clarify, the core technology here is free and open source, anyone can use it right now for free. We do have commercialization plans in additio…

That's excellent - feel free to join our Discord if you'd like to brainstorm ideas or get help choosing models and boards https://discord.gg/TSw34H3PXr

It depends on the model, yes. Here are some examples in the benchmarks section of our docs: https://www.tensil.ai/docs/reference/benchmarks/ We haven't specifically tested on any I…

You absolutely can use it in a data centre. You can even tape out an ASIC using these designs! Currently we've done most of our prototyping with edge FPGA platforms but if you want…

Great question - TVM / OctoML are a great option if you have an off-the-shelf ML model and off-the-shelf hardware. Tensil is different in that you can actually customize the accele…

Tom from Tensil here - happy to answer questions! We developed Tensil to bring custom ML accelerators to people who don't have the resources of companies like Google, Facebook and …

Do you have a website / product page?

There is also what is thought to be a Buddha found at Oseberg which may have been produced in England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseberg_Ship

Even if you agree with Taleb's arguments in that article, he still admits that low IQ is correlated with low wealth, low income and other such social measures of low success. So th…

I'm not GP but as I understand it most religions contain an idea that selflessness is the highest good that a person can attain. Further they often maintain that only by becoming t…

How does this square with intelligence studies of deaf people? Despite being half as likely to complete tertiary education, the deaf exhibit the same IQ distribution as the general…

I agree with the prescription to stay off weaponized social propaganda platforms and focus on your local community, but I don't see how you can ask people to blindly trust the CIA.…

> but in those cases i dont think its entirely fair to expect schools to fully accommodate such outliers This sentiment would equally support removing special education programs fo…

I'll second this: how can I hire you? Or more generally how would you suggest going about finding a workflow consultant?

This already exists and it doesn't quite work. School funding and outcomes are less well correlated than you might expect. Some of the worst performing schools and districts are al…

Prizes are incentives. AIs can respond to incentives just as we can, but for now a Nobel prize is a type of incentive that only humans care about. Unless the AI shows that it cares…
