8 months ago, Taalas claimed https://taalas.com/the-path-to-ubiquitous-ai/#:~:text=Upcomi... that "Our second model, still based on Taalas’ first-generation silicon platform (HC1), will be a mid-sized reasoning LLM. It is expected in our labs this spring and will be integrated into our inference service shortly thereafter. Following this, a frontier LLM will be fabricated using our second-generation silicon platform (HC2). HC2 offers considerably higher density and even faster execution. Deployment is planned for winter."

Nothing was released in spring, and 2 months ago AMD announced their acquisition of Taalas. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence that their frontier LLM will arrive as promised.

I think this company was recently acquired by AMD, so hopefully they'll start getting some this into production. I know OpenAI was working on model-on-a-chip too.
