It's a tech demonstrator for a company that turns models into custom silicon for fast inference. In this case llama3.1-8b https://taalas.com/products/

Is this an ASIC? Or FPGA? Or something even more exotic?

I’m guessing it’s some form of ASIC because I can’t imagine crafting the logic of Llama on silicon is a very quick or easy job. Not that doing it on an ASIC is a piece of cake either.
