Definition
In the context of AI, a circuit typically denotes the underlying hardware architecture such as GPUs, TPUs, or neuromorphic chips designed to accelerate matrix operations and parallel processing. These circuits form the foundational layer upon which software models run, determining throughput, energy efficiency, and latency. Modern AI circuits are increasingly specialized, featuring tensor cores or spiking neuron emulators to optimize specific mathematical workloads inherent in deep learning algorithms.
