It appears that to have working ASIC with the LLM baked into it we need to place and route macroblocks, and not a great variety of them. These macroblocks can be pre-placed-and-routed, available as masks already and shared between different LLMs.
Thus it appears that the tapeout delay can be substantially lower than a year.
