this is constraining your search. You may not be able to find a meaningful improvement over the sota with that constraint in place, regardless of your intelligence level.
I mean the space of algorithms that can run on an existing chip is pretty huge. Yes it is a constraint. And it’s theoretically possible that the search could return no solutions, if the SOTA was achieved with Much better chips, or was near optimal already, or the agent doing the search wasn’t much smarter than us.
For example, there are techniques that decompose a matrix into its largest eigenvectors. Which works great without needing sparse hardware.
