arXiv:2606.10294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying neural networks on unconventional hardware demands architectures that co-optimize task accuracy and platform-specific constraints such as energy cost, physical non-idealities, and numerical precision. Existing neural architecture search (NAS) methods are typically tailored to a single hardware family, limiting cross-platform comparison and generalization. We introduce Unconventional Hardware Neural Architecture Search (UH-NAS), a hardware-agnostic, LLM-guided NAS framework that integrates language models as evolutionary operators to co-
The increasing complexity and cost of deploying AI models necessitate optimization for diverse hardware, while large language models offer a new paradigm for automated design processes.
This research outlines a method to significantly improve co-design of AI for unconventional hardware, potentially accelerating adoption and efficiency across a broader range of applications and platforms.
Hardware-agnostic neural architecture search using LLMs could enable more robust and energy-efficient AI deployments, reducing dependency on single hardware families and optimizing for new physical constraints.
