Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Impressive, well-documented (IBM blog + arXiv 2511.15950) efficiency numbers, but it is a non-procurable research prototype constrained to small, pre-trained, integer-quantized models — orthogonal to pragma.vision's API/LLM-app needs, which are served by commodity cloud LLM inference.
- Next
- Monitor for IBM commercialization (product SKU/pricing) and independent MLPerf-style benchmarks of the 288-card system before any consideration.
