If you don't know how to multiply and add numbers, you don't know anything. Learn, how IBM, Nvidia, Intel, AMD multiply numbers, transistor-by-transistor. All patents are open and old. Make your ASIC. Innovate.

If you don't know what Wallace tree and Han-Carlson are, you don't know anything. Make your own FMA. The school arithmetic they taught you is too slow. Learn how Newton-Raphson can approximate any division and exponentiation to floating point precision fast without actual cycles and counters. Put your entire neural network on chip. Don't just train a LLaMA. Make your own.
