Thanks! Ternary data is definitely more efficient than binary, regardless of your use, not just for AI. I honestly don't know if it's faster, can you give me information on where you read that?

I imagine it's possible even if quite difficult to merge the two architectures, but maybe it's really easier to start everything from scratch as far as hardware is concerned.

What do you mean by ternary addressing? The address bus is also in ternary so even in this case fewer wires and more addresses available!
