A perfect architecture for producing results that may or may not be correct...

For determining what goes into your faceplant feed it's perfect, for controlling your antilock brakes, not so much...

A lot of serious processing has nebulous results, like analyzing MRI images for signs of cancer, but not all computing falls into this category. Some things need to be deterministic.

What do you mean, may or may not be correct? We are the only architecture for AI that gets deterministic results (unlike a GPU).

Out of curiosity, does that mean that GPUs are indeterministic only in their exact execution run-time behavior, or also in the actual output they produce? If the latter, is it something to do with the indeterministic order of floating point operations causing small output differences, or something completely different?
