Keeping the performance figures a secret is a red flag on the level of "run, don't walk, away from this company".

At best their solution is on par with GPUs in a performance per watt/dollar sense. At worst they're scammers looking for a sucker.

I'm also very curious about their performance per watt / dollar for the standard ML datasets out there (facial recognition etc). We have a reasonable sense of both training time and runtime for these in the cloud (and it is falling FAST).
