"In the last 10 years, we've seen an increase in compute intensity and model size by 10,000-fold. The past paradigms we've relied on, like Moore's Law, have gone away and we need technology that will put us on a fundamentally different trajectory. That's what we developed: analog in-memory computing combines the concepts of analog computing for efficiency and in-memory computing to overcome the bottleneck of separating memory and compute."

“In video distributed by the state-run news agency CCTV, People's Liberation Army personnel are shown operating on a testing range alongside a four-legged robot with what appears to be a variant of the standard-issue 5.8 x 42-mm QBZ-95 assault rifle mounted on it as part of China’s recent Golden Dragon 24 joint military exercises with Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. In one scenario, Chinese soldiers stand on either side of a doorway while the robot dog enters the building ahead of them; in another, the robot fires off a burst of bullets as it advances on a target. China’s demonstration clearly rankled international observers, prompting at least one American lawmaker to call on the US Defense Department for a report on “rifle-toting robot dogs” and their potential national security implications. But if the Chinese military is pioneering the weaponization of robot dogs, then the United States military isn’t far behind.” (Wired)
