Please also note that it currently requires OpenCL 2.0 compatibility, and is optimized for AMD GPUs. I plan to add CUDA support later this year.

On the other hand, by the time anyone starting just now learn enough ML to be dangerous, the price of the $10,000 hardware would drop to $5,000 or less, so starting with the cheapest yet decent option seems a better approach...

I quite like what I read! Even more impressive for a beginner, but that combination is a challenge for many seasoned professionals. I hope you'll continue!
