They gotta keep working on the software side of things like drivers, FSR and more. AMD is so far behind on this. In the other hand though, their 3D Cache chips are amazing
AMD leaps after launching AI chip that could challenge Nvidia dominance

Re: AMD leaps after launching AI chip that could challenge Nvidia dominance
#22AMD needs to launch drivers, not chips. Who’s going to develop ML models on a card that can’t connect to a popular ML model? I look at their financial performance and it’s staggering how they’ve missed the boat - and this is during a huge boom on gaming, crypto, and AI. Compare: https://valustox.com/AMD VS https://valustox.com/NVDA
That's not such a big concern, LLMs run on all things today. It won't be that hard to make them work on AMD. Before 2020 we had much more architectural diversity.
I’m just one guy but my experience carries over to subsequent business decisions made by me, and there are many like me.

Can't speak to how it compares to CUDA however they are developing ROCm[0] [0]: https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/rocm.html
Next to nothing is written that targets this. Not Stable Diffusion, not RVC, not Vall-E, not Tacotron, not Tortoise, ... Maybe the LLM space is better about this, but the generative media side definitely isn't. AMD has a market share of 0% here, and nobody publishes models with AMD support.

And I got PyTorch working on my AMD 7900 XT graphics card recently, though it was a bit of a hassle to do so.

#26> Advanced Micro Devices shares were marked 2% higher in premarket trading 2% is a "leap"? It looks like NVDA is up ~1.5% since yesterday.

That is the confusing part say you need to hire 100 people at 1 mil. per year comp to get drivers to a good state. Thats 1/3 of their quarterly profit but would prob double the revenue in a few years.
More likely, they wait to see how the AI HW startups shake up and then acquire the ones that have anything worth paying for.

You could probably get 80% there by dedicating enough AMD developers to improving AMD support in existing AI frameworks and software, in parallel with improving drivers and whatever CUDA equivalent they are betting on right now. But it would need a massive concerted effort that few companies seem to be able to pull off (probably it's hard to align the company on the right goals)

Could there be a compiler/transpiler from CUSA to whatever AMD is pushing ?
