~~It certainly does.~~
~~Until last week, you absolutely NEEDED an NVidia GPU equipped with CUDA to run all AI models.~~
~~Today, that is simply not true. (watch the video at the end of this comment)~~
~~I watched this video and my initial reaction to this news was validated and then some: this video made me even more bearish on NVDA.~~
Edit: corrected and redacted.
mate, that means they are using PTX directly. If anything, they are more dependent to NVIDIA and the CUDA platform than anyone else.
to simplify: they are bypassing the CUDA API, not the NVIDIA instruction set architecture and not CUDA as a platform.
Ahh. Thanks for this insight.
also not true
Thanks for the corrections.
