AMD is scrambling to build a CUDA-esque thing called ROCm and get various frameworks including TF ported over, but it’s not even in “early adopter” state yet, so i doubt anyone is using it. However they seem to be making progress.

It's not that far away. PyTorch merged a build script semi-recently, though I don't know if it's fully tested or supported. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/master/tools/amd_build/build_pytorch_amd.py https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/master/tools/amd_bui...

  That “disabled_feautures.json” file indicates it will be a while before it is useful though.

Could it really be that hard? They’ve had at least a few years heads up and this feels like something that could be accomplished relatively quickly with 5-10 10x engineers. As a high profile project that shouldn’t have difficulty finding the talent.

As I remember, AMD was supporting OpenCL (and now SPIR-V Computer Shader) fairly well. Are those technologies not well regarded in ML ?
