Intel, AMD, Google, Amazon, etc should team up to create some sort of standards/consortium around an open source CUDA alternative, something that anyone who can fabricate chips could use, and the consortium could have their own team of devs/researchers to make improvements / next gen versions of their CUDA alternative.

Something like the way chrome vs chromium is, or even a foundation like the linux foundation, where you have multiple distros contributing packages/etc back into the ecosystem.

they are already doing that with XLA, google has TPUs, amazon has tranium/inferentia. common interface in future that you basically just cast model to `.toDevice` of an enum of accelerated computing types seems to be the goal.
