This is a joint venture against Nvidia basically. ML is the next big thing, and Nvidia has smartly positioned GPUs as the best way to do ML.

Now they should co-develop and promote a well designed open source ML framework, something that can compete with CUDA. AMD isn't up to the task, but Intel is.
