Sadly no. AI hardware does not relies on the same fundamentals as consumer hardware.

Long story short AI stuff use Float 4 or 8 because accuracy is not a factor. Games or physics simulation use Float 32 or 64.

    I'm pretty sure the thing about datatypes is wrong. From experience programming shaders the most typical float values were 4 bytes. The physics simulations are run on cpus typically, not gpus, but for graphics processing of all kinds, smaller floats are used. The conclusion is right though.

    4 bytes not 4 bits, so 32 bits. You can't do graphics on 4 bits, that's way too small.
