Amazing project. Have you guys thought about running it or adapting it for FPGA-like approaches like this one below that reach Taalas-speed like 20k tok/sec on cheap hardware?

500 tok/sec is great but this would be 40x and it changes the kind of tasks that it could even be used for if you link it to fast tools too.
