Field reprogrammable, it's an FPGA on steroids. Field upgradable.
Burnt in, it needs a zif socket and easy access in every car, aircraft, a pull out slot in a phone, or it's new era planned obselescence.

Why not have some a device/hardware that programs itself on-boot.
Sort of a FPGA, that (electrically) arranges the connections on-boot, and then it's like a static inference chip.
FPGAs already configure themselves on boot.
I asked a LLM after posting my comment, to see if I had a genius idea or not,just for it to tell me the same as you, that's now they work already...
Can that be done when the whole idea is to store a multiplier into a handful of transistors?
I have no idea. It makes my comment a statement posted as a proxy for a question, a question you correctly pose explicitly.
If it can, then deployment in a sea of gates can make a chip viable across model generations as weights change, inside some scale factor.
If not, unless the part is under a pinout and address model which can scale on the bus, and can be easily replaced, it makes the entire dependency a replacement, not just this part. So embedded use has consequences.
It can just be pcie
