Odd to see Nvidia and Apple working together on anything

Both are also members of the Kronos group.

I'm more wondering where AMD is in this. "Open" isn't very open without all the major GPU players involved.

AMD isn't directly involved with the alliance, but they have embraced USD:

Good to know, thanks! Would be nice to see them join the standard too.
