Claim 5:
6. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:
train a machine learning model using repeatable hardware blocks, respective repeatable hardware blocks including:
one or more first hardware cores coupled to a second hardware core, the one or more first hardware cores including multipliers for first weights of the machine learning model that can be adjusted after deployment of the machine learning model as compared to second weights of the second hardware core that are fixed; and
alpha blending layer circuitry to selectively transfer first features associated with the second weights, the transferred first features associated with the first weights;

select an operation of the machine learning model;
freeze a parameter of the operation, the parameter to be frozen according to a portion of parameters to be fixed in each layer of the machine learning model, respective layers of the machine learning model including first parameters and second parameters, the first parameters including the first weights; and
re-train the machine learning model without modifying the parameter of the operation.
