Your own compute probably sucks. It's possibly some variant of CoreML, supporting a select few ops up to whichever featureset Apple considers supported. Or maybe it's some version of Microsoft's backend, either ONNX with a custom executor or DirectML with a possibility of native CUDA drivers. Maybe you're a Linux user, maybe you're on an iPad. Potentially you are an unnamed variant of ARMv7 supporting NEON virtualized through a KVM. Do you have a GPU? What's it's BLAS coverage? Does it work upstream? Does it support old code? This is why Nvidia ships the AI of today. In an ideal world you'd be right, and our big-tech benefactors would work together for the common good. In the real world, I wouldn't bet a single dime on FAANG's cooperation. You and I, our common wellbeing, is always a secondary consideration to them.
