#2So who is physically building this chip?

#3Yikes. I'm not a fan of the design because I like my phone to be able to sit flat on surfaces.

#4They should see if all their AI can help them produce this phone for $300 or under.

At least this can sit flat on one axis and should stay put when you tap anywhere on the screen, unlike phones with camera bumps in the corner that rock back and forth diagonally

#6I read the entire blog post and I don't understand the fanfare, it's a custom SoC, presumably to rival Apple's M1. I don't see anything innovative about this, besides heralding "begun, the neural net wars have".
What is the benefit of having all of the ML bits on device? Can models leverage them post training?

It seems like this design will make it very difficult to design cases. On most phones with camera bumps, the case ends up sitting flush with the bump and has a hole for it. Here the case would either have to go over the bump (adding thickness) or be attached only along the edge (easy to break)

#8Was there no demos to show off the chip?

And it kinda looks like a tennis strap?

That does not seem like a meaningful measure for security.
