The choice of smart AI templates would decide much of the functionality and effectiveness of the processor cluster in certain tasks.
There was no obligation to accept any of these smart AI templates. It was perfectly okay for Ves to just receive an 'empty' SF-02 that only possessed generic data processing capabilities.
However, that was a complete waste of this product. The SF Series was completely designed to work with smart AI templates. The hardware served as a foundation for the intelligent software to showcase their amazing capabilities.
To Ves, this entire discussion actually revolved around configuring a modern artifact.
The processor chips and surrounding architecture comprised the physical artifact, while the smart AI templates took on the role of artifact spirits.
Just like the Heavensword, the presence of an artifact spirit massively increased the power and capabilities of an object.
