The technique has not yet been peer-reviewed

Let's see, then.

The peer review process is way too noisy to be meaningful. Better to just read it and judge the work for yourself.

Or wait for follow up work that can corroborate their claims.

They claim it's more efficient, which presumably means it requires less electricity to run the same process. Which means that if this is legit, the companies that do AI should implement it organically as a way to shave costs. If they have any brains whatsoever.
