    Karpathy’s microGPT on FPGA Loses to a Single MacBook Core by 71x

    A custom FPGA implementation of Andrej Karpathy’s microGPT was clocked at 53,000 tokens per second — and then promptly out-run by a single M4 Max MacBook P-core doing roughly 71× the throughput in plain C. The benchmark, published on May 2, 2026 by Alex Cheema, has reignited a long-running debate in the local-AI community: when […]
