This is _not_ an alternative to CUDA nor to OpenCL. It has some high-level and opinionated API [1], which covers a part (rather small part) of the API of each of those.
It may, _in principle_, have been developed - with much more work than has gone into it - into such an alternative; but I am actually not sure of that since I have poor command of Vulcan. I got suspicious being someone who maintains C++ API wrappers for CUDA myself [2], and know that just doing that is a lot more code and a lot more work.
[1] - I assume it is opinionated to cater to CNN simulation for large language models, and basically not much more.
