Yes, correct. I will phrase this better in the future. The zero-power refers only to what is, in effect, the optical replacement for the ocean of matmul you have in standard Transformer implementation.

I apologize for not being clearer.

The goal isn't actually "zero power" - the goal is "so little heat dissipation in orbit is easy".

Oh absolutely...this is kitchen-table level at this point. There is a clear path to really huge number of parameters, but a bunch of things need to be proven first. Like...can the detector meaningfully read what comes out the end of the optical chain?

I expect to have an answer this week...

The planet has been both no-ice and all-ice in it's past. What gives confidence for the "no return" claim?

It's the same thing.

International trade is impossible without both sides ceding "elements of...sovereignty".
