The completely different software stack is a killer. It’s not that you can’t find versions of a model to run, but almost everything that hits the GPU for compute is going to be targeting CUDA, not RocM. From a compatibility standpoint alone this killed AMD for me. I just do not want to spend my time fighting the stack to get these models running.
Yeah, it’s not that I like this state of affairs, but right now the vendor lock-in is so one-sided that it’s hard to say there’s a viable alternative to CUDA. I hope that changes one day.
Fun fact: tons of wheat and corn farmers had shit yields last year in my area. It’s not even that the temperature was higher, the weather was just all over the place and it fucked the plants.
Of course, it’s government policy to overproduce so much wheat and corn we can feed a substantial chunk of the world, so it’ll take longer before the basic staples start getting hit, but just you wait.
