Are closer to the metal AI developers an under tracked bottle neck? AMD and Intel can barely get off the ground due to lagging software developers.

  This is where I want to work. But I feel like an AI swe is more likely to go "down" than an AI company is likely to hire me, a guy who loves optimizing pipelines for parallelism.

  Metal is an Apple thing, not Intel or AMD. (And Ollama supports that.)

    I assume they mean closer to the figurative metal, not literal Metal.

    "Close to the metal" is an expression.

      Also the name of AMD’s (well ATI) previous attempt at a CUDA alternative ;)
