> Tinygrad was another one, but they ended up getting frustrated with AMD and semi-pivoted to Nvidia.
From their announcement on 20241219[^0]:
"We are the only company to get AMD on MLPerf, and we have a completely custom driver that's 50x simpler than the stock one. A bit shocked by how little AMD cared, but we'll take the trillions instead of them."
From 20241211[^1]:
"We gave up and soon tinygrad will depend on 0 AMD code except what's required by code signing.
We did this for the 7900XTX (tinybox red). If AMD was thinking strategically, they'd be begging us to take some free MI300s to add support for it."
