Have you ever tried to run a model from huggingface on an AMD GPU? Semiconductor fabrication is a high risk business. Nvidia invested heavily in CUDA and out-competed AMD (and Intel). They are working hard to keep their edge in developer mi

It's currently impractical to get optical waveguides to perform comparable to the state of the art for electronics. Optical waveguides are the equivalent of a wire on a chip. Intel 4 "fin and minimum metal pitch of 30 nm" ht
