'Etch Opus 5.5 into chips' meme: fixed weights for 100x cheaper inference
emax · x · 2026-10-20
The "just etch the model into the chip" joke is trending on X: @kazzkiq argues Opus 5.5 is a milestone whose weights should be burned into hardware for 10-100x faster inference, "serving 99.99% of the population and use cases." theaiju's retweet admits previously doubting the idea but "for 100x cheaper inference, yea." It's a meme that brushes against the very real ASIC-for-fixed-weights topic.
