I still don't see the required effort put into place by Intel together with AMD in order to create an attractive alternative to CUDA.
Right now they're only only getting looks because their devices are cheaper for the hardware you get and for big projects because they're available, so you're required to have in-house experts who know how these platforms work in order to get stuff done that you know would definitely work on Nvidia.
The games Nvidia is playing with the consumer market is really annoying, but we have to thank Intel and AMD that Nvidia is in a position to do this. Microsoft is probably also at fault.
We're at a point where Apple only has to say "Oh, one more thing, you can now put Nvidia GPUs in your Mac Pro" for Intel and AMD to notice in what position they've put themselves into.
Big companies are weird. There are probably 10 teams each at intel, arm, and amd claiming that they can beat the h100 or build a better compute runtime.
Half those teams are full of crap, a quarter will take the funds and try to do something like CUDA (but better) cough ROCm. Then another eighth to a quarter will simply not have the political clout to get the whole thing done.
Add to this that we just funded 10 teams to get 1-2 functional teams… and you see why chasing after an incumbent is hard. Even when you have near infinite money to do so.
