Lots of people mind, but AMD screwed themselves by not jumping on deep learning years ago and the major open source efforts are all corporate sponsored and standardized around cuda. If you think you can make better, please do.
- hobofan 6y agoYes, it is to a large degree AMD's fault, but NVIDIA also actively acted maliciously by neglecting OpenCL support, which meant that during the critical time 5-6 years ago, there was no realistic chance for the open alternative to succeed. While developing a small competitor to Tensorflow back then (Leaf), we were one of the few frameworks that also tried to support OpenCL, but the additional dev work made it unfeasible.
