Biological brains run remarkable computation on ~20W. Large AI inference runs on thousands of watts. Intel Loihi 2 and IBM NorthPole are two approaches addressing this gap. Loihi 2 uses spiking neural networks — neurons only compute when a threshold is crossed, dramatically reducing energy for sparse workloads. NorthPole distributes memory throughout the chip, showing 25x better energy efficiency than comparable GPUs on certain inference tasks. The honest assessment: these are research demonstrations. The path to mainstream adoption for LLMs is measured in decades. But edge AI and robotics applications are closer. 👉 [node/1195] Architecture details and where neuromorphic actually makes sense.
