Its really time for some competition. Either AMD or some chinese company like 'more threads' need to speed up and get something on the market to break the Nvidia dominance. Nvidia is showing already some nasty typical evil behavior that has to be stopped. I know not easy with fully booked partners at Samsung/tmct/etc

https://tinygrad.org is trying something around this; currently working on getting AMD GPUs to get on MLPerf. Info on what they're up to / why is mostly here - https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2023/05/24/the-t... - though there are some older interesting bits too.

AMD / Intel should be throwing them 10's or 100's millions (or jsut straight up human hours of work) to make that work. If / when it does it would be 10's or 100's of billions of (additional) market cap for them.

So why doesn't AMD invest more in quality software? Everybody knows it's holding them back. Right now a tiny corporation has to jump through hoops to do work they could have done at any point in the last decade. Why don't they pull a great team together and just do the work, if the pay off is that big?

In general it's pretty rare for hardware first companies to put out good software. To me it looks like there are structural reasons for this, hardware requires waterfall development which then gets imposed on software, for instance.
