AMD needs a suitable alternative to CUDA cores.

The FTC needs to invalidate Nvidia's monopoly on CUDA. AMD can't compete because AMD isn't allowed to compete because of copyright law.

AMD's compute capabilities are fine. CUDA is an artificially restricted API that is not permitted to recompile into anything else.

Then it's on AMD to develop a competing API, and ultimately on them for not being competitive enough to develop an alternative alongside the development of CUDA.

It's not Nvidia's fault they developed a better product. And I say this as someone who prefers AMDs products, although I had to get a 3060 for my 3D modeling. I would have loved to go AMD, but I really couldn't.

Nvidia turning your own code into an anti-competitive lock-in is absogoddamnlutely their fault. Again: they actively prevent efforts to recompile CUDA into the competing APIs that already exist and work just fine - because they have to maintain their vice-grip on a market they got to first and turned into a weapon.

I would have loved to go AMD, but I really couldn’t.

THAT'S WHAT ANTI-COMPETITIVE MEANS.

They have ROCm and ZLUDA but both are inferior to CUDA. They completely overslept the whole AI hype cycle and they could have been valued now to over 1 trillion.

They've announced they're working on exactly that.
