I am honestly shocked Nvidia has been allowed to maintain their moat with cuda. It seems like AMD would have a ton to gain just spending a couple million a year to implement all the relevant ML libraries with a non-cuda back-end.
- bee_rider 2y agoAMD doesn’t really seem inclined toward building developer ecosystems in general. Intel seems like they could have some interesting stuff in the annoyingly named “OneAPI” suite but I ran it on my iGPU so I have no idea if it is actually good. It was easy to use, though!
- jimmySixDOF 2y agoThere are quite a few back and forth X/Twitter storms in teacups between George Hotz / tinygrad and the AMD management about opening up the firmware for custom ML integrations to replace CUDA but last I checked they were running into walls
- skohan 2y agoI don't understand why you would need custom firmware. It seems like you could go a long way just implementing back-ends for popular ML libraries in openCL / compute shaders
