I'm open-sourcing my experimental custom NPU architecture designed for local AI acceleration

AI Hardware
Hi all, Like many of you, I'm passionate about running local models efficiently. I've spent the recently designing a custom hardware architecture - an NPU Array (v1) - specifically optimized for matrix multiplication and high TOPS/Watt performance for local AI inference. I've just open-sourced the entire repository here: Disclaimer: This is early-stage, experimental hardware design. It’s not a finished chip you can plug into a PCIe slot tomorrow. I am currently working on resolving routing congestion to hit my target clock frequencies.
