I guess there are bots here making all these political comments to diverge the discussion and not talk about what really matters: is the model good to do actual work?
Looks interesting, but I feel that as models get better and better, the need to have 'personas' for each agent is actually a drawback compared to having a well-defined starting plan and objectives, because more 'intelligent' models will just figure out a more efficient way to do what they need to do.
This is a cool project, but I guess it could be a phone app that your entire family could use collaboratively to scan, tag as used and add to a shopping list.
Notice they use the GigaFLOPs metric, which is a (maximum) floating point measure. Bitcoin hashing (it's been a while for me) is compute intensive on integer math. For a good ratio of performance/power you'd want to look at architectures like the GreenArray devices. But the world of bitcoin hashing is now firmly positioned in ASICs. You can't cut architecture fat beyond that so you'd have to look at (general purpose) architectures built on a faster silicon technology. Wouldn't count on it.
