This is a fun idea. What surprised me is the inversion where MUL ends up faster than ADD because the neural LUT removes sequential dependency while the adder still needs prefix stages.

Out of curiosity, how much slower is this than an actual CPU?

Being able to perform precise math in an LLM is important, glad to see this.
