Good

Edit: Oh shit nvm. It still requires dedicated HW (FPGA). This is no different than say, an NPU. But to be fair, they also said the researcher tested the model on traditional GPU too and reduce memory consumption.

Only for maximum efficiency. LLMs already run tolerably well on normal CPUs and this technique would make it much more efficient there as well.
