Nobody cares what HPC industry has to say; until recently, they have happily been jerking off Monte-Carlo simulations on overpriced nation-grade supercomputer NUMA clusters and didn't know what a "GPU" was anyway! Also please stop spreading "consumer grade product" propaganda. I had used AMD Instinct MI50's—supposedly datacenter-grade hardware, and have faced the exact same problems as George. Except in my case there was no call-line at Lisa's. Guess what, the AI industry has spoken: hyper-scalers would buy NVIDIA, or rather design their own silicon. Any thing, any how, but nothing to do with AMD. Also: if your business is doing so great, how come you're constantly in all these Hacker News threads talking and talking and talking but not actually releasing products of any kind, of any bread, that any of the hackers on here could use?

> but not actually releasing products of any kind, of any bread, that any of the hackers on here could use? Our "product" is open access to a very specific type of HPC compute that previously was locked up and only available to a short list of researchers. Thanks for asking, we just added 1 GPU / 1 minute docker container access through our excellent partners: https://shadeform.ai https://shadeform.ai 1 GPU / 1 VM / 1 minute is coming soon.

  From the looks of it, YOU ARE the product. That is, manufacturing optics of a "partner" and "distributer" ecosystem for AMD. And on borrowed time, too.

    > From the looks of it, YOU ARE the product. Sweet, thanks! That's at least part of what a CEO is supposed to be.

      Please don't be salty; the only person here who may embarrass you is yourself. I'm happy that you like to think about yourself as CEO, but perhaps it's worth reflecting you may be doing a better job if you had spent less time on Hacker News, and more time figuring out how to get Hacker News excited about your product? So far you have pledged allegiance to AMD every chance you got, and spun tall tales of great capability, with not much to show for it besides "partners." You know nobody has trained a thing with your GPU's yet? That would be a great place to start for a CEO. To make something people would use. To justify it to us; as AMD themselves have clearly justified your existence there's no work there! It's just tough words from a nobody, don't worry you'll be fine!
