The article started ok, talking about how certain applications are
latency sensitive and how they could benefit from having an AI be
resident on the mainframe.

 There are only 3 kinds of applications::
a) those that are latency sensitive
b) those that are bandwidth sensitive
c) those that are balanced between latency and bandwidth.
 Caches deal with (a)

Not in the case discussed in the article.  The functionality required by the program was some sort of neural net to detect fraud (for a credit card authorization) and done on a specialized chiplet.  The latency was the difference between the chiplet on the same chip as the "main" CPU versus on some cloud a network away.
