I do think there is a big opportunity for widely supported hardware-accelerated matrix algebra in games. Currently most of that is geared towards graphics (naturally) but being able to easily encode arbitrary models and have them run on-device would open up a lot of opportunities for games (like deep simulation) that weren't possible before. Its currently possible of course but requires custom tooling and (relatively) niche hardware like a high-end graphics card.

I see the development energy around LLMs as a way to open up support for that.
