How does this relate to the goals outlined by George Hotz to bring ML to AMD chips and break the Nvidia dominance?

I'm not an expert here but this approach seems powerful and important. But this system seems complex enough to doubt the ability of an individual to build. It seems like this would need a corporate sponsor to get off the ground. Perhaps AMD itself would be interested in paying engineers to iterate on this?

This could be a big deal if we have an actual alternative to CUDA I can’t see NVIDIA letting this just exist

My opinion is that CUDA is not the mote keeping the others out - it's the CUDNN (and CUBLAS), more specifically the level to which they are optimized.
