notes
TRAP - cheap silicon, dead-end stack. MLU270-S4 at ~$315-320 has tempting paper specs but Cambricon's Neuware/CNRT stack has NO llama.cpp, NO vLLM, NO GGUF path - you would be writing against a closed vendor SDK. Same for MLU370 (48 GB LPDDR5 @ 307 GB/s) - an inference part bandwidth-wise with no GGUF route. Physically easy (PCIe, ~75 W single-slot); software is the wall.
