If I had the capital I’d make an household inference appliance.

No peripherals except Ethernet, integrated compute (cpu+gpu+mem) and secondary storage (+mobo, psu). No accoutrements, just the minimum amount of hardware to run a model as a utility.

Even the appliance faceplate would be a display showing stats like an old HiFi stereo.

Edit: something like a series of modules consisting of a RISC-V CPU + Vortex GPGPU + memory
